in a previous sysem we have developed a method to pre-caculate the price of 
incoming products taking into account 
* the purchase price itself
* discounts
* custom taxes
* freight
* others
and beeing able to match these price components with incoming invoices from 
different partners.
this is the only way to set up an accurate cost accounting system based on the 
estimated final price of the goods.
the usual small differences between estimated and actual prices are posted to 
special accounts to avoid unnecessary and usually not relevant reevaluation of 
stock moves.

(of course people have explained to us that this will not work accurate 
enough, but after a few month it did - a question of discipline ...)

just let me know if you need more info
