# Creating a New Price Matrix

You can add a Price Matrix to existing Packages, Pricing Plans, and Products.

To add, edit, or view the Price Matrix for one of the above catalog items:

- In the IDI Desktop client, select **Applications > Product Management > Product Catalog**. This opens the Product Catalog.
- Locate the item in the catalog.

> [!NOTE]
> Note

> The product, package, or pricing plan must already exist.
- Right-click the item and select **Edi**t. This opens the item on the Main tab.
- Click the ellipsis button ![EllipsisButton](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/23475(1).gif?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T10%3A43%3A23Z&se=2026-11-14T11%3A43%3A23Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ZI0RlAr7myFi8u7REg%2FnvJ8ci1lpOSoARnprCxiNoYA%3D).

- Enter the appropriate information.

| SKU | Catalog item's identifier. |
| --- | --- |
| Charge | Amount charged to the customer. |
| Cost | Amount your company is charged by the supplier. |
| Contract SKU | Identifier of the associated Contract. > [!NOTE] > Note > > If no Contract SKU is selected, the charge represents a bill period to bill period charge. |
| State | Associated State abbreviation. > [!NOTE] > Note > > If no State is selected, the Charge is not State/Zone specific. |
| Zone | Area associated with the selected State where this charge applies. **Notes**: - If an entire state is to be a separate Zone, you must create a Zone for that state. (See [Zones Table](/v1/docs/zones-table).) - If no Zone is selected, the Charge is not State/Zone specific. |

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> One row must be configured as the default Price Matrix before it can be saved. In the default Price Matrix row, the **Contract SKU** and **Zone** fields are empty.

- Click **Save** to save that row.
- Close the Price Matrix window to save the matrix.

**Notes**:
  - You must select the Use Price Matrix check box to enable price matrix charges. However, you can configure the price matrix without enabling it. If you do not enable the use of the price matrix, the amount in the Charge field is used.
  - If you decide to change from rating with a price matrix to rating with one charge per SKU, you can clear the check box, but you must enter the desired amounts in the Charge and Cost fields.
