Hi,

I understand that in Purchase Order, the Direct Unit Cost Excl GST derives fom Item Card's "Last Direct Cost",

1. May I find out what is the purpose of the Last Direct Cost?

2. Why can't the Direct Unit Cost Excl GST derives directly from Unit Price?

I also notice that at times the Unit Cost has multiple decimal places while the Last Direct Cost has only 2

Understand that the decimal places is a standard setting from General Ledger, can anyone advise how does the system derives this calculation?

Thank you so much!

Josh,

The Unit Price, on the Item Card, is the selling price to Customers, so the two field Unit Price and Direct Unit Cost Excl GST would not align. Last Direct Cost rounds to 2 decimals as this was the Last Direct Cost processed an posted for that Item. Unit Cost is a setting on General Ledger Setup that you can change. To see every entry and how it is calculated, drill into the Unit Cost and you will see the breakdown.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Steve
