Cost price is a fixed cost price imported into Salesforce B2C Commerce for use in calculations. Cost price is a site-specific value and must be represented in the same currency used for purchases on the site.
Cost price:
For a standard product that is not a base product or a product set, the cost price is imported and there is no default value.
The cost price of a base product is equal to the average cost price of all variation products. The cost price is calculated using the following formula:
Cost Price( mp ) =
SUM(Cost Price( vpX )) / X
Where:
mp is a base product
vpX are online variations of the base product. The IsOnline attribute must be
set to true for a product to count as an online variation product.
X is the number of online variation products.
Example 1: Not All Variation Products Online
This example shows how cost price is computed if not all variation products are online. In this case, product 1 is online and product 2 isn't.
Variation product 1 - IsOnline: true
Cost Price: 5.50
Variation product 2 - IsOnline: false
Cost Price: 10.75
base product
Cost Price: (5.50) / 1 = 5.50
Example 2: all variation products Online
This example shows how cost price is computed if all variation products are online.
Variation product 1 - IsOnline: true
Cost Price: 7.50
Variation product 2 - IsOnline: true
Cost Price: 2.50
Base product
Cost Price: (7.50 + 2.50) / 2 = 5.00
The cost price for a product set is the sum of the cost prices for every product in the set.
Cost Price( sp ) = SUM(Cost Price( cpX ))
Where:
sp is a product set
cpX are online products in the set:
Example 1: Not All Products Online
This example shows how cost price is computed if not all products in the set are online. In this case, product 1 is online and product 2 isn't.
Product 1 in set - IsOnline: true
Cost Price: 5.50
Product 2 in set - IsOnline: false
Cost Price: 10.75
Product set
Cost Price: = 5.50
Example 2: All Products Online
This example shows how cost price is computed if all products in the set are online.
Product 1 in set - IsOnline: true
Cost Price: 7.50
Product 2 in set - IsOnline: true
Cost Price: 2.50
Product set
Cost Price: (7.50 + 2.50) = 10.00
