Adjusting target margins for product categories
You can set target margins for product categories by adjusting the percentage in the target margin column.
After making an adjustment, the system will provide two options: "Save" and "Save & Apply:
- The "Save" option only changes the target margin for the category without affecting the product prices.
- The "Save & Apply" option modifies the prices by applying the new target margin to all products in the category.
