base item cost completely off

Hi,

I have come across some cases where the base item cost is completely off, e.g. 50% above market price with market price being constant over the last few months. Since base item cost is used to compute total job cost, this makes some jobs ridiculously expensive.

I dont know how that base price is calculated, but in the observed cases many of the parts/components required for the job have no estimated price available. That may be the reason for the wrong base item cost.

As a solution I propose to use the market price instead of the base item cost whenever the base item price of the product is larger than a certain threshold above the market price of the product!
