Price Range Items (Estimated Price Items)

If the feature is enabled, users that require the ability to raise an Order for a Supplier but don't know the exact value up front can use price range Orders. This allows a user to specify a price range for a Non-Catalog item. The Estimated Maximum Unit Price is used for Approval. The Estimated Minimum Unit Price is sent to the Supplier.
