Purchase prices, surcharges and group discounts

Purchase mirrors sales pricing: base price (per vendor) + length surcharge + group discount. Automatic costs attach via Automatic Purchase Costs.

Pricing layers

  1. Purchase Price — vendor-specific direct unit cost per UoM. Valid within start/end date.

  2. Length Surcharge — applied when line length is within min/max.

  3. Price Increase — extra fixed mark-up.

  4. Purchase Price Surcharge — fixed amounts or percentages on top of the base, per item or item price group, per vendor.

  5. Group discounts — via standard BC Purchase Line Discount, enabled by Allow Line Disc. on the Purchase Price.

  6. Automatic Purchase Costs — freight, handling, customs; tied to cost codes.

Use Surcharge Amount for fixed fees (freight, handling), Surcharge Percentage for proportional uplifts.
