# Quote & Invoice Calculation

When Price Control is active, deal totals are calculated using SKU prices from your product catalog, with approved discounts, exchange rates, and tax settings applied automatically.

## How it works

Products are added to a deal as line items, each linked to a SKU from your Price Control catalog. Prices on price-controlled SKUs are locked and cannot be edited freely. If a discount is needed, it must go through the approval process set by your discount tiers.

## How to add products to a deal
## Step 1: Open or create a deal

Go to Deals

Open an existing deal, or click Create to start a new one and fill in the basic deal information

## Step 2: Open the product editor

In the deal, locate the Products section

Click Select Products to open the line item editor

## Step 3: Add line items

Click + Add Line Item

In the Select Product SKU panel, search by SKU code, name, or category

Select the relevant SKU - the base price and discount range load automatically

Add a description if needed (optional)

Repeat for any additional products

Step 4: Save

Click Save Products to apply the line items to the deal

If creating a new deal, click Create Deal to finalize

Prices on price-controlled SKUs are locked and cannot be changed manually

If a discount is needed, you can request one from within the deal — it will be routed to the relevant approval group based on your discount tier settings
