How shops use blank prices
Estimate blank cost / margin while quoting or configuring matrices.
With pricing matrix (Pro+) and blanks enabled, Estimate margin-style tools may call blank lookup.
Lookup does not auto-write final cost into every order until your approve/workflow rules apply — treat results as estimates unless the UI says otherwise.
What blank suppliers do not do
Sync full wholesaler catalogs into Inventory
Replace CRM Vendors or purchase orders
Buy blanks through MadeLab checkout (connection is for pricing APIs)
Inventory stock still managed under inventory when that module is on.
Confirm your supplier credentials in Settings before quote day — failed lookups usually mean expired or missing keys.
