The Big Picture

Pinion has one canonical pricing engine that owns every formula in the package. The configurator calls it; the display calls it; renewals, amendments, and quote PDFs all call it. Anywhere a number ends up in front of a user, that number came from the same engine.

The practical consequence: what reps see in the Product Display tab matches the persisted line items, byte-for-byte. No surprises on PDF export, no drift between the Lightning UI and the database. The reconciliation row at the bottom of each tab makes that fact visible.

You don’t configure the engine directly. You configure the inputs — products, options, rules, configurator settings — and the engine produces the right outputs. The rest of this guide explains what those inputs do.
