What Price Check does
Price Check answers a practical question: does the selling price currently on the table protect the profitability of the deal? It lets you test a proposed price without rebuilding every purchase and selling condition from the beginning.
What you enter

- Proposed Selling Price
- Selling list price, when a discount must be calculated
You can change the values repeatedly to compare different customer requests or alternative quotations.
What it calculates
- Selling Discount to Apply
- Unit Profit

Every result updates immediately, allowing you to see the impact of a revised price before you approve it.
