Step 3: Configure General Product Data

Navigate to the General tab:

  • Regular Price: The standard selling price of the product.
  • Sale Price: A discounted price offered for promotions or special deals.
    ⚠️ Important Rule: Regular Price and Sale Price must not be lower than the Purchase Price.
  • Purchase Price: The base cost of acquiring the product (your investment).

These values are used to accurately calculate investment, revenue, and profit.
