Re: Required Cost on Orders

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a similar situation with prices.

There is enormous pressure to service the needs of customers, but if an 
invoice goes out in which one of the line items has no price, it is very 
easy to overlook.  With our daily billing is a list of upcoming shipments 
that STILL has no price.  This goes to Customer Service to PLEASE research 
and fix before actual ship date.

I do the billing for one facility that does not finish up until after HQ 
office staff goes home.
There is a report we run right before billing which lists what got shipped, 
with various key information, including price.  At bottom of page is 
minimum price found.  Once a week there is zero there, so I do some DFU to 
insert list price or price list whatever before billing.  Once every two 
months I can't find list price or price list, so I bill everything except 
that one shipment.
