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

po pricing is based on a hiarchy of 'user enterred, override pricing',
then contract pricing if a contract exist, then it depends on the control
file setup in green screen as to which price, cost to pull. All of these
choices are user maintained.

hope this helps,
