Absolutely. An order is a snapshot of the moment in time the order was created. It may be necessary to allow price revisions on an order by order basis, according to business rules, but you sure don't want the value of past orders changed -- made wrong -- when the current price changes.

>Is the price in the Inventory table related to the current selling price? IOW, if the price of an item change, do you change the Inventory price field? If so, my guess would be that you need to add a price field in the OrderDetails table to keep the original price (at the time of the purchase). You don't want an invoice that change with the fluctuations of the items prices.
