Micheal,

To clarify, here are the source and example of transformed xmls:

Issue:
====
When the template matches line with LineNumber 1, the UnitPrice for
LineNumber 1.1, 2, 3 are not yet know. So what values will the
function take to calculate?

I have not tried using the below rule, will try :
<xsl:template match="unitPrice[../itemTypeCode = '3']">
   <xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="sum(../unitPrice[1] div
../quantity[1])" /></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Thanks,
Raghu
