Bills of materials: consumables and service cost price

A bill of materials (tech card) is the material usage norm for a specific service: how much dye, developer or other consumables one delivery of the service takes. When a visit with this service is completed, FIXA automatically writes the materials off your stock and calculates the cost price.

Step 1. Mark products as materials

A tech card is built from products that have the «Використовується як матеріал» (Used as a material) switch turned on.

1. Open «Товари» (Products) and pick the product (or create one via «Створити товар» — Create product).
2. In the product card turn on the «Використовується як матеріал» (Used as a material) switch — such a product is consumed by services and can be part of tech cards.
3. If it is a pure consumable (not sold to clients off the shelf), you can turn off the «Продається клієнту» (Sold to client) switch.
4. Fill in the product cost price — FIXA uses it to calculate the service cost price.

Step 2. Create a tech card

1. Open «Товари» → «Технологічні карти» (Products → Tech cards) and click «Додати технологічну карту» (Add tech card).
2. Choose the service you are describing the usage norm for.
3. Give the variant a name — for example "Базова" (Basic). One service can have several card variants: "Long hair", "Short hair" and so on.
4. Add materials: pick a product from the list and set the norm — the quantity consumed per one delivery of the service. Add as many lines as you need with «Додати матеріал» (Add material).
5. At the bottom FIXA immediately shows the estimated cost price — the sum of all materials' cost prices by their norms.
6. Click «Зберегти» (Save).

The first saved card of a service automatically becomes the default variant — it is the one written off when no other variant is chosen in the visit.

How write-off works

• When a visit with the service is completed, materials from the default card are written off stock automatically.
• If a particular visit consumed different amounts, adjust the materials right in the appointment panel — before the visit is completed.
• Write-off movements are visible in the stock operations journal, so stock levels always match reality.

Tips

• Keep product cost prices up to date — then service cost prices and reports stay honest.
• For services with substantially different consumption create separate card variants instead of one "average" norm.
