How can I avoid that when changing the price of a product, this change does not affect the previous records?

When you are recording an item sale, record the item’s price…

What are the previous records that you are worried about?

These are purchases, not sales

When I modify the app with the new price, it also modifies the records prior to the date of change.

I want to prevent that from happening

Are the prices coming from a relation to another table that contains the prices? How are you creating this for purchases?

I get the prices from the supplier table, however the problem  
is:

Sample- Item ¨A¨ on 01/12/2023 its price was $ 3.00  
Now- Item ¨A¨ at this moment or by now its price is $ 3.50

So item ¨A¨ has rise its price and I don’t want this change affects the  
previoous price records.  
How can I avoid change the previous record with the new prices?

Note: These are purchases not sales

But how are you doing this? Are you using a Relation and Lookup? If you are, you should be writing that price to a basic column when the row is added.
