2. Alternatively, open the Part Based Price List Lines window. Note that it is not possible to edit the line in this window.

4. Analyze the contribution margins of the lines by looking at the values in the Contribution Margin (%) field.
5. If needed, simulate the contribution margin for another cost source than the default value by changing the Use Inventory Value check box or the cost set.
6. Take action accordingly if you are not satisfied by changing the sales price, discount, offset, base price etc.
