You can edit the price of a part in either the Design page or the Costing page. In the Design page you can right click on the part in the catalog list view to open the context menu for that part. Choose the option Edit part price to directly edit the part's price.
In the Costing page, you can edit any field with a white background, including the Unit Price, Price Modifier, Install Cost, or Install Time fields. Once you edit any of these fields, the program will remember the new value and use that whenever you add that part again.

Note that while it is possible to open a save file containing parts that are not in your current catalog, you cannot reprice such a part.
Also, be aware that repricing affects all parts with that product code, which includes future versions of a catalog, and also saved files that you reopen - if they contain parts that have been repriced, then the prices and totals will change from when the file was last saved.
Switching Catalog Price Definitions
Plandroid supports multiple price definitions, which is useful if you have different discount structures for different parts of your business. You can import a new price definition file using the menu item Tools -> Import New Catalog or Price File. You can switch between different price definitions from the menu item Tools -> Select Catalogs and then pressing the Set Price Edits button. You can select from any imported Catalog Edits file from this dialog.
Editing Multiple Prices at Once
If you need to edit the prices of many parts at once, you may find it easier to go directly to your catalog price definition file that stores the pricing information and enter all the information directly into that file. An Options setting determines if you are using your own personal catalog edits file (located in your personal application data directory), or a shared catalog edits file (located in your DelftRed\Plandroid\Catalog ProgramData directory). The default price definitions file is CatalogEdits.xml, but it can also be a different file imported by the user.
The easiest way to access your catalog price edits file is to go to Tools -> Select Catalogs and then pressing the Set Price Edits button, and right-clicking on the file you want to edit. You can then choose Save Edits File As option to save the file in your own working directory. Once you have edited it, you can use the Import Prices button to re-import it back into the program.
Advanced Part Editing
You can use custom catalog edits files to customise other aspects of your catalog's behaviour. For example, you can set your own Add Parts definitions in this file so that you add exactly the parts you normally use with a part when add that particular part to your design. See the Catalog File Structure documentation for further details.
