From the new year, the EU directive regulating the legislation in the area of displaying discounts and prices in e-commerce will enter into force.
In the event of an inspection, it will also be necessary to be able to document a specific price at a given time, i.e. save prices over time.
I have no idea how it will be in other countries...
Will VM be able to solve it somehow?
mmm...sounds like a last modification date column for prices will be needed, like the one for products.
But they are already here in the table #_virtuemart_product_prices: created_on,created_by,modified_on,modified_by
So we could make this column appear on the product list with something like "Since: + modified_on date of the price".
And a parameter in backend could prevent the modification of the price if date() - modified_on !>= one month (particularly in case of discount)
...just a suggestion
How about making daily/weekly/monthly backups of your database according to the frequency of price updates?
Is there a link to a publicly available source for that EU directive?
I doubt that there is need to keep all past prices available in the shop system itself.

Showing the inspector a backup will certainly not fix this issue. A rolling 30 day table for items using discounts will probably be necessary.
As far as I understand this is only applicable to discounted items.

yes jjk,
for example in my country France
QuoteLes professionnels qui annoncent des réductions de prix sous forme de rabais ou de promotions doivent afficher le prix le plus bas pratiqué au cours des 30 jours précédents cette offre.

Seems there is more than one issue.
1. Showing the lowest 30 day price.
2. Keeping all past prices available for inspection.
To solve the second issue, database backups should suffice.
The first issue can be solved in different ways, from a simple manually added custom field up to a dedicated database table.
That could be part of VirtueMart Core or available via a plugin.

Sorry, but this is NOT always the lowest price since 30 days ago.

It might not, but it could be used with a different language variable to say it is the 30-day-lowest if someone needs to show old prices.
The logic behind it could come from an external source, or by the shop owners brains depending on the size of the shop and/or the owners brains.

I would like to buy this plugin, but I can't find it on your website. I have already written emails, but I have not received an answer.
