This article explains what Service Levels are and how to add them to your products.
Service levels are designed to give your customers flexibility in the timeframe their job will be produced.
If you or your customer need a product immediately, you can use the SOS or Xpress service. However, if you can wait and want to reduce the normal printing cost - you can choose the Stand-by service.
The Service Level affects both the Sales price and the Transfer price of a job. To produce a job faster, it will cost slightly more. To produce a job slower, it will cost less.
This 3 working day product would be despatched from the Production Hub on the 2nd working day (03/10/14) to be delivered on the 3rd working day (04/10/14).
If Customer Collection is required, the job will be made available to collect on the 3rd working day (the same day we would expect to deliver it).
We cannot guarantee that Jobs will be available to collect on the "Expected Despatch" date (i.e. the day before it is expected to be with the customer).
Please note the Service Level/Turnaround can only be changed before setting your job to status 081.
After this time, your job is allocated to a print run alongside jobs with similar turnaround times.
If your job has not yet been allocated to a print run (where the Progress bar is still grey), you can manually set the job status to 071 > change your Turnaround time > set the job status back to 081.
It is important to remember that pulling your job(s) back from status 081 will reset the turnaround time to the day that you make those changes, not the original date that you set the job to 081.
Service levels used by Grafenia all follow consistent behaviours.

For example, if a £99 product for a Normal service level is changed to a Stand-by service...
The price decreases by 10% to £89.10
And the turnaround time doubles from 5 days to 10 days.
You can add Service Levels to products you create yourself.

In the Technical Settings:
Once this is done, you'll have the option to add extra Service Levels in your Pricing section. You can choose how much of a mark up or mark down from the Normal service you want for each level.
These can vary for every price break, or you can set a fixed increase or decrease of £5 or £10.
The available Service Levels will depend on your normal turnaround time. If a job normally takes a long to produce, you can add more Service Levels to speed up the process.
The follow table shows which Service Levels you can add depending on your Normal turnaround for despatch.
