ProductVariants CostOfGoods

Post by sfeher » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:28 pm

Interesting dilemma here:

We have our products set to have the following:
1.) Price is set to a specific sale amount.
2.) ALSO have variable price checked -- because our sales team builds custom-priced orders on the Admin side, while customers pay retail price on public cart pages. (I've updated BuyProductDialog to NOT display an editable field for the variable price and instead show normal product price.)
3.) We have our minimum price set to guide our sales team to not 'undersell' the item below cost.
4.) Most products have variants with price modifiers and COGS values.

In the Admin CreateOrder2.aspx page, when sales staff select items with variants, they see the screen with base price, options (dropdown), price, and then minimum price. Here's the problem: Since the product variant selection will CHANGE the current display of the Price, I'd like to display the COGS on that option. This way, the sales guys won't sell the variant product too cheaply.

Any thoughts on how to proceed here?
Thanks!
