Understanding Production Pricing Management
With the introduction of the Production Pricing Management feature in GelatoConnect, users can efficiently define and manage pricing templates for each customer. This functionality is designed to enhance invoicing accuracy and reduce the manual effort involved in pricing management.
Key functionalities include:
Creating reusable production pricing templates
Assigning templates and defining customer-specific prices
Managing and updating pricing versions
Creating a Production Pricing Template
Follow these steps to create a production pricing template:
Access the Pricing Template Section
Navigate to Workflow => Configuration => Pricing Template in Gelato Connect Workflow (GCW).
Alternatively, use the search function for "Pricing Templates" to reach the configuration page.
Add a New Pricing Template
Provide a name for your template (e.g., Acrylic Products Pricing).
Select a product model (e.g., Acrylic).
Configure the Pricing Structure
Define the pricing logic based on product attributes.
Select dimensions such as Format, Size, Thickness, and Color type.
You can nest attributes in your preferred order, for example:
Format → Size → Thickness
Thickness → Format → Size
Select Attribute Values
Choose specific values applicable to this template, such as:
Thickness: 4mm, 8mm
Format: 300x450-mm, 400x500-mm
Set Packaging Options
Defaults for packaging material and labels will be pre-filled.
Select either:
Fixed pricing (default)
Percentage-based pricing (e.g., markup from inventory costs)
Save the Template
Your template will now be ready for customer assignment.
Assigning the Template and Defining Customer-Specific Prices
To assign a pricing template and set customer-specific prices, follow these steps:

Go to the Customers menu item.
Choose the customer for whom you want to configure pricing (e.g., Acme Corp).

Select the relevant templates for this customer (e.g., Mugs, Canvas, Acrylic).
Pricing will be displayed according to the defined attribute structure.
