1.7 Alpha CSH Queries - supplier stuff

General developer's discussion

Some queries relating to Suppliers|Deliveries

Is the 'List Price' on the Product|Info|Suppliers tab effectively the Supplier's Recommended Retail Price?
Are the 'Supplier Invoice Id' and the 'Supplier Invoice Line Item Id' provided only by the ESCI system? [see say http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/supplier/delivery ]
If you are not using the ESCI system are you free to put anything yoiu want in these fields?
If you have auto-update set on the Product|Suppliers tab, what fields are updated and when? [Yes I know I am being lazy not figuring this out by experimentation.]

1. The List Price is the wholesale price.

2. The Supplier Invoice Id and Supplier Invoice Line Item Id are populated by ESCI from the invoice received from the supplier. They probably should be hidden for non-ESCI deliveries.

3. They are read-only, so no.

4. Product unit prices are updated when:

editing a product
processing a Finalised delivery

In both cases, the product must have:

a Product Supplier relationship linked to an active supplier
Auto Price Update set true
a non-zero List Price
a non-zero Package Size
the relationship must change in order to trigger the update

The product's Unit Price cost node is set to List Price / Package Size

Tim - thanks for this. One follow-on query:

List and Nett prices. I know the system uses the Nett price to set the amount on the order to the supplier. So are the definitions:

List Price = wholesale price (inc tax)

Nett Price = ex-tax price that the practice pays [and this may be less than the ex-tax list price because of discounts being given to the practice by the supplier]
