These updates give purchasing and project teams more precise tools for managing the numbers that matter: products can now carry different purchase prices depending on the supplier, with the product's default buy price kept as a reliable fallback whenever no supplier-specific price has been set; and once a project has been saved, project managers can capture a named baseline that acts as a fixed reference point for comparing progress later on. Together, these are practical, everyday improvements for anyone who needs purchase costs to reflect reality and project status to be easy to check against a known starting point.

Supplier-specific pricing and project baselines

Products can now hold different purchase prices for different suppliers, so purchasing no longer has to rely on a single standard price when real costs vary from one supplier to another. If no supplier-specific price is set, the system automatically falls back to the product's default buy price, so nothing gets left unpriced. On the project side, once a project has been saved, users can create a named baseline - a snapshot of the project's state that can be referred back to for comparison or historical record.

  • Assign one or more supplier price lists to a product so purchase costs reflect what each supplier actually charges
  • If no supplier price is set, the product automatically falls back to its default buy price, keeping the workflow uninterrupted
  • At least one supplier price list must exist before it can be linked to a product, avoiding incomplete pricing data
  • Each price list can only be assigned to a product once; if you remove an assignment, save the product before adding it again
  • Supplier price validity dates are checked automatically - an end date can never be set before its start date
  • Once a project is saved, capture a named baseline to use as a reference point for later comparison

What changes for you

If you buy from several suppliers, you can now record each one's actual price on the product itself, instead of forcing every purchase through a single price that doesn't match reality. The default price is still there as a safe baseline for anything you haven't priced by supplier yet.

If you manage projects, the new named baseline gives you a fixed point to measure against, so you can see how far a project has drifted from its original plan without having to reconstruct the starting state by hand.

Why it matters

Supplier-specific purchase prices mean you can compare quotes reliably and calculate margins based on what suppliers actually charge, rather than working from rough estimates.

A saved baseline is the foundation for any serious progress review: without a clear reference point, spotting delays or cost overruns turns into guesswork instead of a dependable check.
