Fast Manager will have you set up two different things before you even get started...a price matrix for each of your printing types such as screenprinting, embroidery,
dtg, sublimation, etc (based on a couple of different formats like # of colors and cost breakdowns, desired profit, etc.), then they have you make a separate price matrix called the Markup that can be applied to the substrate (tees, polos, etc.)
It's been a long time since I had to do that so my memory isn't clear but I
do remember being very impressed (and surprised) that the software would let me decide how to lay things out. For example, some embroiders charge by stitch count and others don't. It doesn't matter though because FM has a solution to work either way.
If you know how much it costs you to do the PRINTING on the garment then that's really all you need to get set up. The catalogs from the product suppliers are updated (at the very least) annually. So you just go in and check that you have the latest supplier update and your markup value will automatically apply itself to whatever the current cost is. You don't have to keep track of what the supplier's cost is on specific products if you have your catalogs up to date.
I would suggest going through the online tutorials they have on their web page to learn more. They explain a lot.

Then download the trial version when you have some free time (rare these days) and punch in some of your business numbers. It won't make complete sense until you try it out.
