How Cost Grids (Buy) are used by BUZ
The Cost Grid Description's code is added to each inventory item that it applies to.
Each Cost Grid Description can have several Cost Grids attached to it that each have a different Start date.
BUZ allows 3 dimensional pricing Width/Length x Height/Drop x Depth/Thickness. They are referenced as ItemWidth x ItemHeight x ItemDepth. They are up to and including the size shown.
ItemDepth is often used to signify a package or combination price in the Product Options see Group Options for how this is used.
