Price = Percent of Average Cost

[Eric DE MAULDE]

Hi,

If I read documentation :

"2.3.11.3.6.3 Percent of Average Cost
Take the assigned percentage times the established Average Cost. For example, if you wanted to have 100 percent margin over the Average Cost, enter 200 for the value."

I've added an average cost ($10) for the product "GZ-1000" in the demo server : https://demo.ofbiz.org/ecommerce/products/100/100/p_GZ-1000
And I've added a price rule for this product
Percent Of Average Cost = 200

But the final price is $35 (listPrice + averageCost * 2) and not $20.

I don't understand.
I would like to manage price related to only its average cost

Thanks

Solution :

I have to create 2 actions
01 : Percent Of Average Cost = -100
02 : Percent Of Average Cost = 150

Into my own server I have to write
02 : Percent Of Average Cost = 100

All price calculation starts with the list price, that's just how it  
works. If you don't want the list price, just add an action that add  
-100% of the list price.
