# Branding and setup products

Create the service products that hold your branding and setup costs and prices, before you set up branding types.

The Universal Branding Calculator (UBC) in OrderEazi doesn't hold prices itself. Each branding price, and each setup charge, is a service product: a product you sell that isn't a physical item. It has a cost from your decorator, the supplier who does the branding, and a selling price on your pricelists. You create these products first, then point your branding tiers at them.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Create Products** and **Edit Products** permissions, in the **Products** permission group, and **Manage Pricelists** to set the selling prices. If you don't have them, ask your OrderEazi administrator to add them to your role.

### What to create

Give each tier its own branding product, so each tier can have its own selling price. One setup product per branding method is usually enough.

* **A branding product for each tier:** For each tier, and each number of colours on it, create a service product, such as EMB-250 for embroidery on 250 or more items.
* **A setup product for each method:** Create a service product for the once-off setup, such as EMB-SETUP.
* **A cost for each product:** Link the product to your decorator, with its cost.
* **A selling price for each product:** Add the product's price to your pricelists.

See [Product Management](/central/order-management/products.md) for how to create a product, its supplier cost, and its prices.

### How the products are used

When you set up a tier on a branding type, you enter the codes of these products as its **Branding SKU** and **Setup SKU**. When a sales rep adds branding, the cost comes from the product's supplier price for that quantity, or its default cost. The selling price comes from the client's pricelist. If there's no pricelist price, OrderEazi adds the sales rep's default markup to the cost.

**Example:** For the 250 and up embroidery tier, you create EMB-250, linked to your embroiderer at a cost of R8, and selling at R14 on your pricelist. You create EMB-SETUP at a cost of R350, selling at R450. A sales rep branding 250 golf shirts gets an embroidery line at R14 each, and a setup line at R450.

### When a product is missing

If a tier points at a code that isn't a product, the sales rep sees an error when they add branding.

If they see "The branding decoration service '...' could not be found in the product catalogue.", create the branding product, or correct the **Branding SKU** on the tier.

If they see "The branding setup service '...' could not be found in the product catalogue.", create the setup product, or correct the **Setup SKU**.
