Definition

The priority sequence number determines the priority of the different price sources. A low number means a high priority. The default priority sequence number is "1" for all price sources, in which case all sources have the same priority and the system selects the lowest price as the market price. You can change the priority sequence number for each price source as required.

Example:

Delivered prices    Priority 1

Purchase order price    Priority 2

Scheduling agreement prices    Priority 2

Contract prices    Priority 2

Info record prices    Priority 3

In this example the market price is calculated based only on the receipts if a price can be calculated from this option. If no receipt price exists, the system uses the lowest price from the relevant purchase orders, scheduling agreements, and contracts. If these sources have no price either, the system uses the market price from the purchasing info records.
