Can't set price

[boumy]

I wonder if "call for a price" is not an option one can deactivate. Maybe I deactivated it because my first purpose was to make an e-shop with no price: only to facilitate ordering photos prints by clients I already know.

I have made a new test:
add a product -> set no price and check no checkbox -> Save and close -> the product price is saved at 1 (€) ! (cost, base and final are all set to 1)
So now I can't set to price to empty or zero 8-|

I also struggled with this issue. For me it happened with some products (not all) while others are still editable the regular way

Tried millions combinations :-) , this worked for me:
I entered final price and checked calculate and  Save. Problem solved. From now on I can alter prices just like before also starting from costprice.

I have got exactly the same issue.

I am working with VM 2.0.10 on J.2.5.6.

Method 1:
The following occurs:
- I make a new product.
- I choose a title and category
- I press "SAVE"
- I set "Final price", for example 23,95
- I check the box at "Calculate cost price"
- I didn't set the base price / cost price, because I want to calculate it.
- I press "Save" (or "Save & Close" = same result)

Result: All price fields are empty.
I got the notice: "cost Price empty, if child, everything okey, this is just a dev note"
But I don't think this is OK?

Method 2:
- I make a new product.
- I choose a title and category
- I don't press "SAVE"
- I set "Final price", for example 23,95
- I check the box at "Calculate cost price"
- I didn't set the base price / cost price, because I want to calculate it.
- I press "Save"

Result: Cost price is perfectly calculated.



More information:
I've got a standard Tax rule which is:
"BTW per artikel" (something as : Tax per product???) and "+%"



I have tested above several times.
As far as I can see the problem is:
Once a product is saved without a price, the cost price can't been calculated from the final price.

I hope someone comes with a fix, because prices are one of the major features of an e-commerce system.

Just starting with VirtueMart 3.0.18, I have the same issue and am somewhat surprised that this is not fixed yet.
Thank you for the workaround, though.

Is there any other solution yet?
