My original comment was a bit terse.  I said "BasePrice depends on 
Quantity and Location.  So BasePrice is within ItemLocationQuantity".  
What we discussed in the Catlogue project and proposed to the PSC was:
a. There should only ever be one instance of BasePrice for an Item on an 
Order or Invoice/Billing document. The buyer wil only propose one price 
and the seller certainly will be unambiguous about the price per Item.
b. The only situation where an Item may have many BasePrices is in the  
sourcing process and then it is not simply the Item that determines the 
BasePrice but also the quantities required and the location they are 
required in.  So we have a new ABIE ItemLocationQuantity that says "If 
you want this much of this item in this place here is the price".

It seems the proposal from Veronique suggests we invert this so 
BasePrice can have multiple occurrences (dependant on quantity and maybe 
location), but that would dilute the original purpose of having only one 
BasePrice.
