Hi there.



I have a base set up for my businesses orders. I have a table for all my products, a table for line items per quote etc.



However if I want to change the price of one of my products it will alter the value of line items from previous orders. Which I use for historical reporting etc.



Is their any way to hard code the price of the product at the time of purchase?



Thanks

No, unfortunately, this is not possible in Airtable. 😦



One solution for this is to create new products every time the price changes, and give each product a slightly different SKU #.



Another solution would be to copy-and-paste the price at the time of data entry into a normal number field, instead of using a lookup field. (This could be automated.)



Another solution would be to create a whole bunch of different price fields in your products table, where each price would represent a different date range. Then, lookup all of those price fields into your line items table and create a formula that picks the right price based on the date of the quote.

Hey guys,



An alternative idea on @ScottWorld recommendations is to add a discount field per product that will update a new field “Sold price” while the product price can remain steady.


What do you think?



Thanks
