RE: Purchase Price Hierarchy - Is there an automatic method?

I don't know for sure,  but it sounds logically to me.  I don't want a
system that automatically changes my purchase price based on the
last.  Today I order 100 pcs.  which cost € 1.12  and tomorrow it's
possible I need  1000 at a price of € 0.99  because of the larger qty.(the
prices based on series are in the Quotation file.)

But I am not a purchasing specialist, so perhaps somebody out there, can
give more advice.

Best,

Lucas
