#### Accessing Product Details

First things first, let's get into the product's specific details:

- Search and select the **product** you want to update from your inventory list.
- Click on the **Properties** tab to open up the area where you can edit pricing and other information.

#### Setting Up Product Details

It's important to make sure all the basic information about your product is accurate:

- Confirm the **part number and name** are correct to avoid any confusion or mismatches in your inventory system.
- Define or adjust the **category** of the product. You can add new categories by hitting the plus (+) icon.
- Specify the **part type**. If the existing options don't fit, you have the freedom to add your own. For example, choose from OEM, tires, aftermarket, and in this case, fluids.

#### Part Quality and Core Amount

- **Part Quality:** Choose the right quality for the item, like 'new' for fluids, 'used' for older vehicle parts, or 'remanufactured'.
- **Core Amount:** Indicate if there's an associated core amount charge with the part, which is usually not applicable for fluids.

#### Pricing Your Product

Here's where we talk numbers – setting the right price points for your product:

- **Your Cost:** Enter what you pay for the product. This is your baseline for setting sale prices.
- **Sale Price:** Decide on a sale price, which might vary seasonally or during promotions. Example: Set it to $3.50 during a special offer.
- **Manufacturer Price:** This is the price recommended by the manufacturer, say $4.79.
- **List Price:** You can mirror the manufacturer price or set a different one, depending on your strategy.

#### Deciding on a Pricing Method

The pricing method you choose can greatly affect your sales strategy:

- **Price Matrix or Flat Rate?** You can use a price matrix to adjust pricing based on part types and costs or choose a flat rate for simplicity. For detailed instructions on setting up a price matrix, refer to the relevant video tutorial.

#### Understanding Margins and Profit

- **Margin Calculation:** To the right of the pricing fields, you'll see the margin, which helps you understand the profit you'll make on each sale.
- **Total Profit:** At the top right corner, 'Part Profit' reflects the total earnings from sales of that product, which will populate once you have sales data.

#### Final Steps

Before you finish:

- **Review all the details** you've entered to make sure they're correct.
- **Save your changes** to update the product pricing in the system.
