As part of the Sales Order entry processes the system can be configured to warn and/or block entry of a price below that of the cost price or cost price plus a markup value. The system can be configured to require entry of a password to override this warning.
Where a line has been entered, and authorised, as being below cost then subsequent amends of that order line also require you to override the cost price check even if just looking to update the description. This new feature allows you to set to omit the warnings when subsequently amend a line and no price amendment is applied.
The system will still warn when adding an order line but if override the warning and then subsequently amend the line and do not change the selling price the system will not re-warn.
