[Fwd: Pricing Routines to perform Unit Price conversions before used in sub/totaling]
Could never get Chris's routine call suggestion to work, I suspect that
the routine was not correctly exporting as a global routine, but it did
move me in a direction that was helpful and I appreciate that once I
realized that I could just embed an equation in the CommonAdjust
statement, something that Mike H or good documentation could have
resolved weeks ago.
CommonAdjust pricing:q10,q25,q50,q100,q200,q500,q1000:,
;products:price, &$s*1.12/1.6+70-$s

Duh. I'm not too proud to admit that, that is why I've asked for help! I can accomplish what I want by hacking
the Data.pm file, but that limits what I need to do to a single catalog per source and I'd like to run more than
one catalog with different pricing from the same source.

I don't think so, look at Data.pm and the snippet of the item_pricing routine I included in the post! As for
Vend::Cfg, these are defined and used throught the system, but yes, ItemPriceRoutine doesn't appear to be
defined and that was one of my questions, what internal routine does item_pricing call then? and how do you
redefine ItemPriceRoutine on a catalog basis?

Christopher Miller's message this morning made reference to a subroutine call from CommonAdjust. Chris, can you
post a sample of your ClientPricing code? This may be a method that is more flexible than my hardcode hack...
Thanks...
