This panel lists the items connected to the SPP price group and the pricing information. You can toggle the Purchase price/SPP price by clicking the Shift info function key. The purchase price is displayed in the purchase price unit defined for the item. The Standard cost is displayed with the same unit as the purchase price. When you toggle the information, Standard purchase price is displayed in the classification unit (SPP price group unit). For example:
- Prices are defined per TONNE in the SPP price group.
- Default purchase unit is SHEET for the supplier.
- Purchase price unit for SHEET is 1000S (1000 sheet)
When you first access this simulation panel the purchase price unit is 1000S and price displayed is for 1000S. When you toggle by clicking Shift info, the SPP price unit is TONNE and price displayed is for TONNE.
When purchase prices are downloaded the prices are in a default purchase price unit but they are stored in a default purchase unit. The purchase unit is defaulted from the supplier and the default purchase price unit is the item default purchase price unit. For example the price is 1000 GBP (1000S) which is stored using SHEET as a unit.
If Cost per warehouse is set to YES in the DIS control file, the cost price for each warehouse is displayed.
