The planning optimization does not consider item different units; therefore, it does not fetch the correct trade agreement price for the requirements planned orders.
In conclusion, the planning optimization does not respect unit conversion.
For instance, if we have 3 trade agreements for one product A:
Product A, 1 PCS, 10 EUR
Product A, 1 VP10, 95 EUR (VP10 = 10 PCS)
Product A, 1 VP20, 180 EUR (VP20 = 20 PCS)
now I would like the MRP to suggest me the best price.
Setting is set
- look for Trade Agreement
- find the best price
- also the unit conversions are in place.
I create a sales order with 10 pieces
Run the planning optimization.
it suggests me to buy 10 PCS for 100 EUR.
I would imagine that the MRP would find the agreement with unit VP10 and suggest me to order them for 95.

Make a lot of sense from my point of view!

It only makes sense. All the required inputs, i.e. pricing, conversion factor, etc., are in place.
