Price types and purpose for a product

[arihant jain]

Is there any documentation around significance of the different price types
& related purposes for a product? I will have purchase price of a product
from a supplier in USD and list price (selling price) in INR. Should I use
'default price' type and 'purchase/initial' purpose for the USD one and
'list price' type and 'component price' purpose for INR one?

Thanks
Arihant

Hello Arihant,

The default price is the price you will charge a customer if no other pricing consideration apply. So at the minimum, when you define a new product you should define a default price.

A "list price" is often a quoted price that you might discount for a number of reasons.

So in your situation, I think your default price should be in INR.

Look closely at

applications/product/src/org/ofbiz/product/price/PriceServices.java for detail on price calculations.

Cheers
