iPad compatibility

Please note that the prices per period has different rules on the iPad Orders app due to technical limits. As of now, the prices per period are displayed with the following rules.

Collections display

Each variant will display the wholesale and retail price of the price period linked to the collection.

Sales catalogs display

Each will variant will display the wholesale and retail price of the price period OR default prices of the most recent sales catalog.

This means if you have a variant displayed in several catalogs, and the most recent catalog has no price period (default prices), this variant will display default prices in all the sales catalogs available on the iPad application.

Same case for a variant displayed in several catalogs that have several price periods assigned, the iPad application only allows the display of prices from the most recent sales catalogs. 

Important: Please note that each time you will synchronise the order to your web showroom, if the price is not correct on the iPad, the order will display a delta message on the web showroom so you can update the order with the correct prices in all cases.
