How do you get around the issue of a customer sending in a purchase order with a certain price and then you charging them a price that was not agreed to when accepting the purchase order.

Hello BigLouie,

We send out price change notifications to our customers. We've got a database publishing system for that. 

Normally i train the newest office person on how to look up each item and then each sales order and hit the "calc" button. But this morning I imported price changes to over 1200 existing items in MAS and so it seems crazy to manually go in and hit that "calc" button.

best wishes, Kristin

Well, i had the newest guy go through all the sales orders and hit "recalc". Someday it would be good to figure out how to do the scripting for this.

The SO_SalesOrder_bus object does have a PriceRecalculation() funciton.  I haven't tried using it, but you could theoretically call it on PreWrite() of the SO business object and/or create a script that runs on a scheduled basis that browses through all open SO's, recalcs the prices, and saves the changes.

As a safe option, I'd go with a header table post-read script, filtered to the SO Entry UI... to invoke the recalc button, so the user would not have to remember to do this each time.  Using something in the business object you'd have to be careful to avoid problems during posting, but invoking the button doesn't have this kind of complication.
