Summary0020842: price list requirement for PO
Descriptionhttp://54.247.153.121/openbravo [^]

in this test environment, I have created a new product called testnewproduct.
Without entering a pricelist for the supplier, I cannot enter the item on the purchase order.

Is there a reason why user needs to do so much set up for procuring an item? What about one time items? No price list is really valid for many situations.
Steps To Reproduceattempt to enter on a PO the product which does not have a price list associated with the Business partner named. At the line level, it appears the only returned results are those which have price lists explicitly created for the business partner which include this product.

Creating a new item without any price lists will show that it cannot be added to a PO readily.
Proposed SolutionPropose relaxation of this assumption. If the old costing method was a part of the decision for it to work this way, revisit the assumption as the new costing algorithm does not need this.

There doesn't seem to be any good functional reason for this behavior. Often, I create new items to purchase. These items may not be on a price list. Anyway, I don't have a business partner yet for them. Why should i only be able to enter them on a PO when I establish that BP Price List - Product connection. It appears arbitrary. Also, consider commodities. They aren't on price lists - you find the spot rate on the day of the purchase. If I cannot enter a PO for this new product unless I have a BP price list set up, that is quite restrictive and I'm not even sure what the purpose of it is.
