Price type

Select whether this is a regular or a special price. • Regular price: identifies a price that is generally available for use. • Special price: identifies a price that is not generally available for use. A special price is typically associated with a special set of terms and conditions, lead-time, or supplier promotion. APM never prompts a special price as the expected price for a resource demand or PO line. Special prices are only used when specifically selected by a user.
