Hi Andrew,
We are and we aren't. Any quote we give our commercial customers is good for 45 days. But about a quarter of them don't get a go ahead from their customer until 3 or 4 months later. If there has been an increase in that time the quote has to be re-calculated.
For our housing customers, we use quotes rather than standing orders (much like Brian imports web orders into quotes before processing them). I have over nine hundred house quotes and find it keeps order entry uncluttered (it's also a carry over from our old accounting system). We try and keep the pricing on those for the length of the development but some developments go for three years.
As to inventory, yes I would like to be able to choose which cost is displayed when making an adjustment. If I'm decreasing inventory, say raw material, then I use the average cost. But if I'm adding inventory, say after a production run, them I need to use recent cost.
Thanks
