Market Prices vs Supplier Document Prices

Prisflux keeps market evidence and supplier-document evidence distinct so you can see both the current benchmark and supplier-specific observations.

Market observations

Market observations represent the current market-price evidence available to Prisflux for supported metals.

The UI shows the observation timestamp and market source.

Some alloy prices may be derived from a parent benchmark metal using the accepted market factor. When that happens, Prisflux identifies the value as derived.

Supplier Document observations

Supplier-document observations come from eligible Supplier Orders or Supplier Invoices.

The UI identifies the supplier and document when the evidence can be traced to an internal Prisflux record.

Supplier-document prices are not silently substituted across unrelated suppliers.

Dashboard behavior

The Dashboard starts on Market.

Switching to Supplier Documents is temporary and does not change your saved metal selection.

If a selected metal has no exact supplier-document observation, it stays visible and shows No supplier observation.

Metal Prices workspace

Use the full Metal Prices workspace when you need more history and provenance than the Dashboard card provides.

The workspace can distinguish Market, Supplier Invoice, Supplier Order, and legacy/manual evidence where applicable.

Currency

Prisflux stores canonical monetary values in USD and converts for display according to supported working-currency rules. Historical source/provenance remains preserved.
