Pricing Sanity Checker

Where To Find The Pricing Sanity Checker

The pricing sanity check is not a separate tool or menu item. It is a read-only panel near the bottom of an individual gas safety check’s detail page. It appears once a quote has been attached to that check (and the field-quotes layout is in place), and reads only that check’s latest quote. There is no standalone “Pricing Sanity Checker” screen to navigate to.

• Open the check from Checks, then scroll to the pricing panel on the check detail page.
• The panel only shows when a quote exists on the check; checks without a quote do not display it.
• Configure the norms it compares against under Settings → Organisation → Pricing.

What It Does

• Performs a deterministic check on that check’s latest quote figures.
• Compares them against organisation-level pricing norms held in settings. A norm left at zero is simply switched off.
• Always flags two things regardless of your norms: unpriced lines, and parts sold at or below cost.
• Computes the figures server-side, so the warnings reflect the real quote rather than anything typed over them.

Using It Well

Every finding is advisory. The checker never sets a price and never blocks sending. It is a second pair of eyes, not a gate, so you can proceed with the quote whatever it flags.

• Set realistic organisation norms so the check is a useful guardrail, not noise.
• Treat a flag as a prompt to confirm, not a hard block. There is no “mark as intentional” field, so a warning simply stays shown.
• When a figure is a deliberate exception, keep your own internal note of why, since the panel does not capture an override reason.
