I have a cost issue in Dynamics GP2010

The issue occurs where the costs for items that are drop shipped are significantly different from the item when picked up at the warehouse or shipped from inventory. The cost updates the current cost when the drop ship item is received/invoiced in SOP. Is there a way that the PO cost for a specific SOP order follows that SOP order and does not update all other inventory?

The SOP drop ship items are ordered and linked in the POP/SOP function but when there is high volume the cost is not associating correctly causing issues with profitability on the orders and commissions paid.

Thanks,

So here is why and it just works this way. When you receive items into inventory, the cost of the item received is posted to the Item Receipts table and, depending on your valuation method, may be used to alter the current cost of the item (If you are using Periodic cost, this will not occur). When you create a PO from and SOP document and do a complete drop ship, the cost of the PO Receipt is moved to the SOP document as the cost of the item. You truely get actual costs on a complete drop ship transaction.

Costing of inventory and issues like this are discussed in our book Inventory Control Techniques for MS Dynamics GP and to some degree in Information Flow and Posting. There are also chapters on the drop ship processes in Understanding Sales Order Processing and Understanding Purchase Order Processing.
