In this program purchase price information is defined for an item, as well as discounts and quantity dependent prices.
Purchase prices are entered for a combination of item, supplier, unit and currency for a single period, or multiple periods via validity dates (from-to dates).
Note: If establishing purchase prices for a decimal-defined currency, without a rounding factor, an error message could be displayed in certain situations. This error message will inform you that the relation between the price, discount and limit is not valid. To avoid this situation, a rounding factor should be defined (i.e. the Adjust to field in the Currency table) for those currencies established with decimal definition.
