Getting started with contracts
Overview
Contract prices give customers the best totalvalueinctax that is possible. If there is more than one contract for the same customer and product that applies to one line. The system will calculate the valueinctax that would result from applying each contract. Then use whichever contract gives the customer the lowest totalvalueinctax for that line
Sales orders and quotes, deliberately hold the price that was in place at the time the order was created, even if the contract prices change after.
The reason is that if order and quote prices change when contracts change, then customers might get a different price for the sale than the price originally quoted or emailed to them.
