Some additional thoughts distinguish between incoming / outgoing products incoming: * if the price is printed on the suppliers picking/packing list - the stock worker see the price any way - hence he can enter the data too. * if the picking is based on a purchase order - the price shouldn't be different from what will be invoiced (usually) - except ** freight ** customs the purchase order should allow entering these 2 price components (as well as discount) - ( it works for one client more than 10 years now - needs a bit discipline) * if the pricing described above does not work it might be an alternative to modify the workflow from ** draft - done to ** draft - received (without prices) - done (with prices) outgoing * usually the stock worker must not see the price * often stock workers have to handle pro forma invoices for customs - hence they will see sales prices. - but his is a question of internal organisation > > Regarding your question I vote for standard.
