Where a price and its tax came from · presentation 2 of 5

Which price list the document opened with

You can trace, in order, how a sales line decided which pricing scheme to use, why the drop-down offered what it offered…

Which scheme was proposed

Step 1 — Start with the branch, not the applet

You will check the right setting first.

Organisation applet, the branch edit form, with a Default Pricing Scheme selector

Step 2 — Know when neither default is consulted at all

You will recognise the case that skips both.

What this step names
  1. If the item is priced on exactly one scheme
  2. The picker applies that one and disables the drop-down
  3. No default is looked at

Which rows the picker was given

Step 3 — See why the drop-down offered what it offered

You will understand a list that sometimes looks arbitrary.

Step 4 — Learn where the role permission really bites

You will stop relying on a control in a place it does not apply.

What the line kept

Step 6 — Read what selecting a price actually stamped

You will know what to look at on a finished line.

What this step names
  1. Choosing a price copies onto the line the unit price inclusive and…
  2. The minimum price
  3. The replacement and reference prices
  4. A tax code
  5. Rate and type that may not be the scheme's at all
  6. One more thing that is easy to miss…
