Caution

In order to ensure you can automate and standardise all your stone setting costs, you must ensure you have a setting row to cover every stone you buy. If a setting charge cannot be indexed against your grid for any given stone then your pre-agreed setting charges cannot be applied. 




Step 6
: After you have created all your required Setting grids, you can instruct your suppliers to quote using our group chat  Conversations. 



Step 7
: Once your suppliers have submitted their quotes, filter by supplier to view and approve at individual supplier level. Alternatively, you can use the master grid view to apply a single approved cost to all your suppliers.

⚠️ Warning

If you do not filter by individual supplier when approving setting charges, your changes will be applied to ALL suppliers and override any approved quotes entered previously.



💡 Top Tip

Once you suppliers start quoting you will be able to view powerful analytics; minimum, average, maximum setting charges quoted for every row. This analytics in combination with your guide price provide all the context to approve the setting charged for a specific supplier without leaving the grid.
