Re: RE: NTE question
My usual method is to print an exception report when the orders are
created if the 850 price is different from the system price. The client
picks which price is used when the order is created (usually the system
generated price), and manually reconciles to the other. In some
industries where pricing is very complicated - in pharma each customer
ends up with his own price for each item, with quantity breaks as well -
pricing is a very large issue.
