Updatable Price Alternatives

Standard Price:

The Standard price is the most important price for a part in the system. The standard price describes the value of the product. Standard price is used on several occasions, for example as basis for calculation for purchased material, inventory valuation, contribution margin etc. For purchased parts a standard value + purchasing costs (if any) can be a standard price. For manufactured parts, a pre-calculation is made in the system, which is saved as the standard price. You can only manage one standard price in the system.

This price alternative is entered in the system as STP.

Future Standard Price:

The Future Standard Price is also an important price. It can be used to calculate future prices for an upcoming fiscal year. You can only manage one future standard price in the system.
