Pricing

Important note

Pricing in KartuStok is informational pricing, not an accounting or advanced costing module.

This feature covers Default Cost as the item reference cost, Unit Price as the transaction-line price snapshot, and Amount as quantity x unit price. Price fields appear only when Enable Price is active and the user's role has price permission.

Pricing does not include FIFO/LIFO, moving average, official HPP/COGS, accounting journals, a full stock valuation report, or automatic revaluation of historical transactions.

Pricing adds informational value fields to item, transaction, print, and report views. It is not a full accounting valuation engine.

Use pricing when the company wants users with permission to see reference cost and transaction value snapshots without turning KartuStok into an accounting system.

Availability Rules

Pricing appears only when both conditions are true:

1. Enable Price is active in company settings.
2. The user's role has the correct switch enabled in the Price row.

Price Fields

Field	Location	Meaning
Default Cost	Item master data.	Reference item cost.
Unit Price	Transaction line.	Price snapshot for that transaction line.
Amount	Transaction line or print output.	Quantity multiplied by Unit Price.
Price Decimal	Company settings.	Decimal precision used when displaying prices.

Price Row in Roles & Permissions

Role Table Column	User Can
View	See price fields, price print columns, and price report columns.
Update	Change Default Cost and Unit Price where the form allows it.

If a user can view price but cannot edit price, price fields may appear read-only or be filled automatically.

Where Price Appears

Area	Behavior
Item form	Default Cost appears when allowed.
Transaction line	Unit Price and Amount appear when allowed.
Transaction print	Unit Price, Amount, and Total Amount appear when allowed.
Detail Stock Card	Default Cost or Unit Price can appear when detailed options are enabled.

Operational Examples

Scenario	Recommended Setup	Result
Warehouse staff should not know price	Enable Price only if needed for other teams, but keep Staff role without Price View.	Staff sees quantity-only transaction screens.
Owner wants transaction value	Enable Price, give Owner/Finance Price View, and use transaction print/export.	Owner sees Unit Price, Amount, and Total Amount where allowed.
Purchasing maintains reference cost	Give trusted user Price Update.	User can maintain Default Cost and transaction Unit Price.
Company does not use price yet	Keep Enable Price off.	All price fields stay hidden even if some role has price permission.

Pricing values are informational snapshots. Changing Default Cost later does not recalculate old transaction lines.

Common Problems

Problem	Fix
Price fields missing for everyone	Enable Price in settings.
Price fields missing for one user	Enable the View switch on the Price row.
User cannot change price	Enable the Update switch on the Price row if policy allows it.
Decimal format is wrong	Update Price Decimal in settings.
