Does it mean that you have already such a module ?

Some additional thoughts
distinguish between incoming / outgoing products

incoming:
* if the price is printed on the suppliers picking/packing list - the stock 
worker see the price any way - hence he can enter the data too.
* if the picking is based on a purchase order - the price shouldn't be 
different from what will be invoiced (usually) - except
** freight
** customs
the purchase order should allow entering these 2 price components (as well as 
discount) - ( it works for one client more than 10 years now - needs a bit 
discipline)
* if the pricing described above does not work it might be an alternative to 
modify the workflow from
** draft - done
to
** draft - received (without prices) - done (with prices)

outgoing
* usually the stock worker must not see the price
* often stock workers have to handle pro forma invoices for customs - hence 
they will see sales prices. - but his is a question of internal organisation
