Project Accounting Purchase Order Item Cost - Use Vendor Originating Cost

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DebN 3,954

When creating purchase orders for project accounting items, the item cost on the PO can pull from the unit cost entered for the cost category in the project budget or from the unit cost entered for the cost category record, or neither.  What we really need to do is pull the unit cost from the Vendor Originating Cost field, just like regular PO line items do.  The PO is being sent to the vendor so it needs to show their cost, not the cost we're using in our project.  Is this possible?

    You are right, as soon as I enter a project the cost disappears.

    Hi AmberLea,

    Does your line item on the PO have a project ID and cost category?  I get the correct cost, too, when I don't have a project assigned to the line item.  Let me know if that's how it's working for you.

    Thank you!

    I am new to GP, but when I set the Default Unit Costs From to None in PA Purchase Order Processing Setup, and then put a value in the Originating Invoice Cost in the Item Vendors Maintenance, it pulls this value into my purchase order.

    You can stop showing budget . cost category unit cose by changing this drop down value to NONE, but to show unit cost as shown in regular PO, there is no setup, but through customization that could be done.
