If you want to include overhead costs, marketplace commissions, markup, or other percentage-based expenses in your product costs, add them as resources in Controlata.
Adding a Resource
In the Resources section, click Add to create a new resource.
In the Calculation type field, select Percentage.
Select the calculation base — Cost price or Selling price. This determines what amount the percentage is calculated from.
Setting the Percentage
There are two options for setting up the percentage.
Same percentage for all products
Leave the Percentage specified per product toggle off. Enter the percentage in the Percentage field.
For example, if you want to add 15% overhead costs to all products, enter 15. This percentage will be automatically applied to all products that use this resource.
Different percentage for different products
Turn on the Percentage specified per product toggle. In this case, you don't enter the percentage in the resource — it will be set separately in each product composition.
This option is useful when the percentage varies between products — for example, different marketplace commissions depending on the product category, or different markup for different product groups.
Category
Assign a category to the resource. We recommend creating a separate Overhead or Commissions category for easier filtering.
Adding the Resource to a Product
After adding the resource to the Resources section, include it in your product.
Edit the product, open the Resources tab, and add the appropriate resource.
-
If you set the percentage in the resource, it will be applied automatically.
-
If you turned on Percentage specified per product, enter the percentage for this product.
Save the changes. Now when you manufacture this product, Controlata will calculate the resource cost as a percentage of cost price or selling price.
