Product cost rules

I'm trying to figure out how to define product cost rules for  
products. It looks like I may be able to set up something with  
ProductPriceRule, ProductPriceCond, and ProductPriceAction, similar to  
how I have price breaks for the same products. The problem I'm running  
into is how to make a distinction between the price rules for our  
customers and price rules for our company's purchase orders going to  
our vendors.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of scenario?

Jennifer - Purchase prices are stored in SupplierProduct.lastPrice.
I have never tried applying logic to pricing on the purchasing side but as far as I can tell the price rule functionality can only be applied to purchase prices thru Agreements, and only using Promotions, not "Price Rules" as exposed in Catalog Manager.
There is a really simple example in the demo data of a purchase agreement. It doesn't go as far as to actually define a purchase price list and promotions but it is at least a start.

Prices for purchase orders (from suppliers) are defined in the  
SupplierProduct entity; the user interface is in the "Supplier" tab of  
the Catalog->Product page.
