The system checks the product's sell group first for a valid minimum price. If a basis field is not selected, the system defaults to the price line level.

In Sales Order Entry, if a user tries to manually override a selling price using the Unit Price field, the GP% field, the Subtotals option, or Job Bid Subtotal Maintenance the system compares the price entered to the price specified in the Minimum Sell Price basis field in Buy/Sell Group Maintenance. The user cannot change the price to less than the minimum price indicated.
