What logic does the system use to propose a valid price from purchasing info records when creating a purchase order?

The system uses logic that prioritizes consistent pricing by defaulting to the last purchase order when no valid conditions are present in the purchasing info records. This approach ensures that procurement teams have a fallback option to rely on previously agreed pricing, minimizing disruptions in the purchasing process.

Using the last purchase order allows for continuity and helps maintain stable supplier relationships, assuming that the last price was satisfactory and that it reflects market conditions at that time. This logic is practical as it helps streamline operations by avoiding the need for manual input or extensive searches for historical pricing information when valid conditions are absent.

In contrast, proposing a price solely based on valid conditions is contingent on the existence of those conditions being met. If none are available, then this route would not function effectively. The other choices, such as marking items as important or referencing supplier ratings, do not directly influence price determination in the context of purchase order creation and do not serve as bases for automatically selecting prices when valid conditions are missing.
