Set up Multi-Angled Pricing

Price Codes > Multi-Angle sidebar button

The Multi-angle component calculates a charge for the additional time it takes to create a multi-angled frame. The charge is based on a percentage of the total framing price; the more complicated the construction, the higher the percentage.

Tip: You can also use the Multi-Angle field to price by percentage for other factors such as Rush Charge, Design Fee, etc.

Note: The Multi-Angle field does not apply a percentage to the Readymade field since it is a pre-purchased frame and additional work is not required, e.g. not cutting and assembling the frame. If you are cutting down a readymade frame, then use the Fitting field to add an additional charge for the labour which will be affected by the Multi-Angle percentage.

Note: The Multi-Angle field does not apply a percentage to the Other field. This is a flat rate amount and is affected by other factors: Constrain to 1, Do Not Discount, Do Not Tax, Post lines separately.

How to Set the Price for Multi-Angle Frames

  1. Go to Price Codes and click the Multi-Angle sidebar button.

  2. Click the List View button.

  3. Click any record to edit, or to create a new record, click the New Price Code Item button.

    The New Price Code Item window appears.

  4. The group you want to select is Multi Angle.

  5. Fill in the fields for Item and Markup Formula.



    For example, when entering a decimal, use  .10  or  .1  for 10%.

    This adds 10% of the total price to the amount for Multi Angle.

Note: Adjust the percentage in the Markup Formula field to be correct for your business. The defaults in FrameReady are: Five Sided  .5, Six Sided .6, Seven Sided .65, Octagon .7, Ten Sided .8, Twelve Sided .9, Sixteen Sided 1.

  1. Later, on a Work Order, you can select the number of sides from the Multi-Angle dropdown. 

Other Uses for the Multi-Angle Group

Tip: The Multi-Angle field can also be used to price by percentage for other factors such as Rush Charge, Design Fee, etc.

  • When every component in the frame is affected by a task, the Multi-Angle field adds a percentage of all the materials to the retail price. This means that the Rush Charge for a double frame with a fillet and three mats is consistently priced higher than the Rush Charge for a single frame with one mat.

  • This field could, technically, be considered the reverse of the Discount field as it adds a percentage to the total price.

  • After set up, simply choose the appropriate entry from the Multi-Angle field in the Work Order and the price of the framing components scales up.
