Take into account freight cost in select supplier window

Post by Black »

I just reposted this from other thread just for make new poll :)

One more suggestion to improve select supplier window - At this point it seems that products in select supplier window are sorted by overall rating. But this rating does not get into account shipping cost for a product, so sometimes the product with highest overall rating is not always the best(max profitable) choice.

My suggestion is to change overall rating so it takes into account shipping cost, or just add another overral rating computed with shipping costs. To make it more clear please check the image:

(Price in black color = price + shipping costs)


In above example, third option is clearly the best choice, and should have best overall rating.

It would be also nice to be able to sort results in select supplier window by overall rating with shipping cost.

As said in other threads dealing with this window, there is also room for the necessity index.

and why not put also what's the city average selling price and local retailers selling price, city av' quality and local retailers quality next to it so you could see exactly who's your competitors and how strong your product is against theirs. (eggs with quality of 100 costing 5$ still won't match local retailers eggs of quality of 30 costing 0.5$....)
