Step 6 – Enter the Manual Cost of Goods. This is what you pay to purchase the product.

Step 7 – Choose an existing Pricing Rule only if you want to use a pricing rule. You can skip this step if you do not want to use pricing rule.  You can click on “Add New Rule” to create a new pricing rule.  

Step 8 – Enter the selling price of the product which is how much the end user will pay for the product.  If you selected a pricing rule, the selling price will be auto-calculated for you based on the rule.
