Alert for Prices Below Acquisition Cost

06.03.20251 min read

We are introducing an automatic price verification mechanism when saving quotes, orders, and invoices, aimed at preventing sales below the acquisition cost. When a selling price lower than the product cost is detected, the system requests a mandatory justification from the user before the document can be saved.

How It Works:

  1. Detection of prices below cost
    • Upon clicking the "Save" button, iflows automatically checks all products in the document (quote, order, or invoice).
    • If one of the products has a selling price below the acquisition cost, an alert pop-up appears.
  2. Entering the justification
    • The pop-up lists the products with prices below cost and provides a mandatory field for an explanation (e.g., "Damaged product", "Stock clearance campaign", etc.).
    • Without completing this justification, the document cannot be saved.
  3. Saving and viewing the justification
    • For quotes and orders, the entered explanation is stored in the Comments tab of the document, visible to all users with access to it. This comment CANNOT BE DELETED.
  4. Notifications for other users
    • If other team members have notifications configured for this alert, they will receive a message in iflows when a document with products below cost is saved.
    • The notification includes details about the document (number, type, date) and the products in question.

Note: To activate these notifications, go to Notifications → Preferences and enable the desired notification type (Informative/Priority) in the Orders and Invoices and Payments sections respectively.
