Default purchase price

When creating purchase order, I think that default price is last direct cost unless purchase price list is not registerd.
Is there a good way to set the default purchase price to blank by using D365 BC standard function?

Leaving the Last Direct Cost field blank will result in a blank cost on the Purchase Order line.

Hello,

Whenever there is a new purchase posted, the system will update the Last Direct Cost on the item's card unless you have customization.

The standard way to set the default purchase price to blank using standard function is by using Purchase Price List.

Thanks for your support.
I think that I was able to sort out what can and cannot be done with standard functions about purchase price based on your answers.

That's correct, but why don't you want to use the purchase price list to set the cost to 0?

Thank you for reply.

If we use price list, we would set purchase price for vendor we are actually going to purchase from, and set price to 0 for all other vendors.

In that case, I think that we need to prepare price list line for each vendor for each item(because we can't use “all vendors”).
I thought it was a bit troublesome.
