Understand the rate library

Reuse shared rates or set your own shop-specific ones.

What this is for

Machine rates lists all your rate profiles together. Each profile is tagged Shop or Global — Global profiles are shared starting points you can look at, and you add your own Shop profiles with figures that match your shop exactly.

Understand the rate library — the screen in Sign OS

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open Catalogue → Machine rates to see your rate profiles.

  2. 2

    Use the scope control in the header menu to show Global (shared) or Shop (your own) profiles, and use the Scope column to tell them apart.

  3. 3

    Look at a Global profile as a starting point, then press + New rate profile to create your own Shop version with the numbers that match your real cost.

  4. 4

    Your Shop profiles are what feed your quotes — a Global profile never overrides your own figures.
