Every field on a vendor price — the unit price, quantity discounts, and vendor codes — and the order Bettr follows to fill a purchase order line.

A purchase order line filled in $12.88 when your rice normally runs $14.00, and someone wants to know where that number came from. The answer is a . You keep these under Vendors & pricing on each product. Open Products and pick the one you're checking.
Every vendor you buy a product from gets one price, saved under Vendors & pricing on the product's edit page. A saved price carries four fields:
Each saved price reads as a row: the vendor's name, its product-code badge if you set one, and a summary line beneath — for example, $14.00/unit · min order 50 · 1 tier. The row counts its discount tiers rather than listing them; open the price to see each one.
Under Quantity discounts, a price can carry one or more tiers. A has three fields:
Each tier begins at a different Quantity from; two tiers can't share the same quantity. Order the tiers however you like — Bettr reads them by their quantity, not their position.
When you add a product to a purchase order, leaving the line's Unit price blank tells Bettr to fill it from the vendor price. The number it lands on — the — follows one order of precedence:
The line shows the result as Effective unit price, notes when a tier price is in play, and points at the next tier you'd reach by ordering more. Every price rounds to the cent. To watch this fill in, open a new purchase order; for the full order flow, see create a purchase order.
Blank is the signal
A line only draws on the vendor price when its Unit price is left blank. The moment you type a number, that number is the price for that line, discounts and all.
A product can hold a price from every vendor that sells it, but only one price per vendor at a time. When you add a vendor price, the picker offers only the vendors you haven't priced yet for this product; once every vendor is priced, it tells you so. To retire a price, remove it — the record is kept, but new order lines stop drawing on it.
Removing a price drops its discounts
Removing a vendor price removes its quantity discount tiers with it. New order lines for that vendor won't fill in a price until you save a fresh one.
