    Preselect the type so that you can chose an origin from the "Origin" combobox.

  • "Origin" checkbox

    When activating the "Search automatically for prices" checkbox, you can only use the "Origin" combobox to search for prices of a specific origin. The program only displays origins of the respective origin type that have prices attached.

  • Table of quantities, validities and prices

    Displays all the prices for the selected part depending on quantities and validities in purchased/standard parts table.

    In analogy to the Data Administration, you can see the tiered prices for individual purchased part prices in this dialog. The table for the tiered prices is subordinated to the purchased part price table on the second level and can be expanded or collapsed in order to show or hide the tiered prices.

    Requirements

    The tiered prices are activated (see system settings - "Enable tiered pricing for purchased and standard parts" checkbox).

    The final price per unit of the purchased/standard part is then determined in the project by specifying the purchased lot size or the manual order quantity.
