However, do remember that it is not possible to have prices on
product variations (at least from the standard modules). So, in a
way this makes an assumption that all variants have the same and
cost price (which is rarely true with at least Openlabs
customers).
Interesting. Different price per variant would exactly be what the
user needs, as Apple is making the big revenues on the 64GB variant
compared to the 8GB. Similar as car manufacturers make a high profit
on extras.
So here you are advocating variants...
Perhaps this could be included like:
Implement also list and cost price on variant with a Boolean 'Use prices from
template'.
I prefer the current solution a lot to what it was before, when we had
to enable variants by a second module. It is a minimalistic design as usual
allowing for extensibility. Nevertheless I agree, that it would be a welcome
feature to provide the possibility to define prices on the variant in the base
module.
I also agree that providing the possibility to define prices on the variant,
in addition on the template, would be a useful improvement.
Adding list and cost prices and a Boolean 'Use prices from template' on the
variants sounds good. It is a similar solution as how taxes and accounts can
be defined in the product template or in the product category.
There is a big mistake here.
Cost price is something really different of list price and so both must
be managed differently.
I don't think list price should be moved to variant but more the
possibility to add an extra per variant. And this is very, very easy to
do now because the design was thought for that.
It is more common to define the final price for each variant, instead of
template price + extra price. For example tablet 8Gb 250 eur and tablet
16Gb 300 eur instead of tablet 16Gb 250+50 eur. Anyway, it is easy to
add (if core module doesn't include it) a field for the variant list
price and compute the variant extra price as
variant extra price = variant list price - template list price
For cost price, it think it should probably not move but instead we
should compute both the cost price of the template and the cost price of
the variant. Just like I explained in previous email about the cost
price per warehouse. They are all new indicators.
I don't understand that variant cost price is only an indicator. For
example, if you use fixed cost method, the tablet 8Gb and tablet 16Gb
has different cost prices, because the second one is more expensive to
purchase/produce. How could be introduced the different cost prices for
tablet 8Gb and tablet 16Gb variants?
