Thanks for the explanation, Chris.  Much appreciated.  I think I've 
discovered a bug in that functionality, however.  I'm using version 
1.2.12 and I have 2 separate price groups, Retail and Wholesale.  I've 
entered a break for each, 50% off for retail, 25% off for wholesale.  I 
then tried to see what impact that would have when creating a sales 
order or when creating a sales invoice.  Pricing for neither was 
impacted.  I the default sell price and repeated the process.  Pricing 
showed up blank after entering the product I'm working with.

Thinking that a date range was necessary to have it take effect, I 
entered a date range.  No change.

Am I missing something basic here to get this working?
