Bigger companies create items on a daily basis and therefore a smooth and automated process should be in place. It is not feasible to manually put in purchase prices on the item form by the controlling department. The system should allow to run a standard cost calculation based on the purchase trade agreement. This would make it possible to run a daily batch calculation which looks at the trade agreement and based on the below query, should find the corresponding purchase price:

- Site (or blank)
- Standard order quantity
- Preferred vendor
