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.

Best idea ever
Really needed!!
This will undoubtedly improve the accuracy and efficiency of the entire process.
It only makes sense. All the required inputs, i.e. pricing, conversion factor, etc., are in place.
Time for another Kaizen; agreed 100%.
Make a lot of sense from my point of view!
