how is pricing is generated for an item added to a PO?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The pricing for an item added to a Purchase Order (PO) in NetSuite is determined by a hierarchy of price levels. If a purchase price is not set for the selected vendor, the system defaults to the item's selling price. The hierarchy is as follows: Supplier Price > Purchase Price > Last Purchase Price > Base Price. If you want to stop the item rate on a purchase order from defaulting to the item's selling price, you might need to leave the Base Price empty. However, this might not be a feasible solution if you want to use the selling price on Sales Orders and other transactions. For services, you could model them as items on the PO. For example, if a service is provided 10 times at £100 each time, you could price it as 10 each for £100. This way, you can bill a portion of them and still have the PO be open. However, if there is only one quantity at a certain price and you have paid off a portion of it, the PO gets fully billed. Please note that these are general guidelines and the actual implementation might vary based on your specific business requirements and NetSuite setup. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
