I do not understand this part: 
"profit margin based on related categories of this product...."

Or is that right, that the "average cost" from price rule action means the 
"average cost" price of the product which is set explicitly from the prices 
tab of a product? 

Secondly, does it sound reasonable solution that we use a nightly job to 
update the "average cost" price of the product using the inventory costs of 
all the inventory items for this product? 

What we really want is a price structure based on the average cost of based 
on inventory items for a product and a profit margin based on related 
categories of this product.
