Latest purchase unit price is not captured to purchase order lines

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by SC666 121
Under Business central, I maintain price list under vendor card with valid starting date and ending date. I create the purchase order but the unit price is not capturing the latest unit price under vendor card price list.
 
I checked under item card, unit price and I can see the latest maintained purchase unit price.
I checked under vendor card, I can see the item purchase unit price under the vendor card.
 
But why when I am creating the purchase order for this item, the purchase line is not detecting the latest purchase price I maintained???

    Hi,

    The purchase order is not picking the latest vendor price because Business Central applies pricing based on specific conditions, not just the most recent entry. From the image and your description, here are the likely reasons:
    1. Effective Dates
      Ensure the “Order date” field falls within the Starting Date and Ending Date of the price entry. Overlapping or expired dates can cause mismatches.
    2. Unit of Measure
      The PO line’s UOM must match the UOM in the vendor price list.
    3. Currency Code
      If the vendor price list has a currency code, the PO must use the same currency.
    Mark true, “Does this answer your question” if it helps.

    ·  Price Calculation Setup
    • Business Central does not automatically pull from the Vendor Card price list unless the Purchase Price functionality is enabled.
    • Go to Purchases & Payables Setup → check if Use Vendor-Specific Prices or the new Price Calculation Method (depending on your version) is set correctly.
    ·  Effective Date Issue
    • The Purchase Order “Order Date” or “Posting Date” must fall within the Starting Date / Ending Date of the Vendor Price.
    • If your PO date is outside that range, BC won’t pick up that price.
    ·  Price List Hierarchy
    • BC uses a hierarchy:
      • Purchase Prices (old method) or Price Lists (new method).
      • If both exist, the system may give priority to the one configured in Price Calculation Setup.
    ·  Vendor/Item Matching
    • Ensure the exact Vendor No. + Item No. + Unit of Measure + Currency Code match with what is on the Purchase Price list.
    • Even a different UOM (like PCS vs BOX) will stop the system from applying it.
