Thanks Mike! - easy when you know how.   However, I think I am a little
confused now :-)

What exactly is "mv_sku"??  Is it a "special" built-in modifier that works
like any other user-defined modifier, except that when posted to the order
routine it *also* replaces the product sku so that [item-price] etc refer to
the variant sku?

I'd be grateful for a short technical explanation to help me get my head
round what's going on here.

Also, will CommonAdjust products:price:mv_sku take care of sale_price?

My current CommonAdjust reads:
CommonAdjust    :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==:options

So should the new common adjust read:
CommonAdjust    products:sale_price:mv_sku, products:price:mv_sku,
:sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==:options
