# Cost Price

Chart how your suppliers' cost prices for a product change over time.

When a supplier's prices creep up, your margins shrink unless you notice. The **Cost Price** report in OrderEazi charts each supplier's cost for the products you choose, over a period. You can see who's raising prices, and when.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Cost Price** permission, in the **Reports** permission group, and **Export (All Reports)** to export it. If you don't have them, ask your OrderEazi administrator.

### How to run the report

1. In the main menu, go to **Reports** > **Cost Price**.
2. Set the **Report Date Ranges**. It's matched against the date each cost was recorded.
3. Choose the products to chart, by **Product Range** (base product code) or **Products** (product code). Type at least 3 characters to search, and choose as many as you need.
4. To compare particular suppliers, choose them under **Product Supplier**.
5. Select **Generate Report**.

### What the report shows

A line chart with one line for each supplier and product, labelled with the supplier's name and the product code. Each point is a cost recorded on that day. Costs are shown as they were captured, without converting currencies.

**Example:** You chart GOLF-SHIRT-NAVY for the last six months. The line for Apparel Direct stays at R92. The line for Shirt Co climbs from R88 to R101 in April. You ask Shirt Co about the increase, and move your next order to Apparel Direct.

### How to export

Select **Export**. The Excel file has the costs as a table, with the **Date**, **Product Code**, **Supplier**, and **Cost**, and a picture of the chart.
