[SL] average and list price?

[Kevin B. <kb...@fr...>]

Hi ya,

This might be obvious to most but I can't see an easy explanation in my 
manual and thought I'd ask the list before sending a dumb question to 
Dieter.

I can see that the sell price is what gets charged to the customer - and 
the cost price is what I paid my supplier - this also gets used when the 
income statement is being put together to figure out the cost of the 
hardware which has been sold.

I also notice that if I buy a part from a new supplier at a different 
price then an average price is calculated and shown. There is also a 
'List Price'.

My question is - what are these prices used for?

Thanks,

Kevin
