Editing Prices

Preconditions:

You have opened the parts management: Utilities > Parts > Management.
You have defined the currencies and currency codes in the settings (Options > Settings > User > Management > Parts).

Specify price information

Select the Prices / Other tab for the selected parts.
Enter the data.

Assume you want to order cables. The manufacturer sells the cables in lots of 4 rolls at 25 m each for 200 US dollars per lot. The minimum order amount is thus 100 m of cable. The price unit is "25", the quantity unit "m", and the quantity per packaging "4". So you enter the following values into the fields:
Price unit: 25
Quantity unit: m
Quantity/packaging: 4
Purchase price/price unit: 50 USD
Purchase price/packaging: 200 USD

Calculate purchase price

Select [Extras] > Prices for the selected parts.
Specify which purchase prices should be calculated by selecting the appropriate option in the Calculate prices dialog.

Note:

You can only select one option at a time for a currency, i.e., you can calculate either the "Purchase price/price unit" or the "Purchase price/packaging".

Example:

Assume that the purchase price per package is 200 US dollars for the cable, and the Quantity/packaging is "4". You can now calculate the other purchase price by selecting the option Purchase price/price unit for currency 1 in the Calculate prices dialog and clicking [OK]. The purchase price/price unit will then be displayed as "50 USD" for currency 1 on the Prices / Other tab.

There is no currency conversion via the options for the Currency 2 field in the Calculate prices dialog, but rather a purchase price calculation. For this to work, however, you must enter a purchase price in the field for currency 2 in the Prices / Other tab.

Converting currencies

Select [Extras] > Currencies for the selected parts.
In the Convert group box of the Convert currencies dialog, specify the direction in which conversion should be performed.
In the Selection group box, specify which prices should be converted: Select the appropriate check box or check boxes.

Note:

In the Currencies group box of this dialog, the specified exchange rate configured under Options > Settings > User > Management > Parts > [Currency] is displayed.
