Item price based on formula

[shahns]

I have a use-case where Item pricing is based on its weight.

Details about usecase:

1. The selling price is multiple of the weight plus some constant. This multiple varies daily based on prevalent
2. Each serial number in item has different weight. This implies each serial number has different selling price.

Currently, adding different weights for each serial number under product is also not possible. But this can be done by adding custom fields and scripts while making entry using purchase/material receipt form.

I think this use case would also generalize to various businesses where price of goods is market linked.

There is a quiet old issue which suggests this is not possible out-of-the box.

I think we can generate a custom server script type, like "Pricing Script". The script can return calculated rate.
