    RE: Current Cost on item card changing when receiving a PO

    Hi Heather-

    As Lisa said, this is how GP works.

    If you don't want to see that cost, you could hide the field from the users.

    If you don't want to have GP default that cost when you create a new PO, there are two vendors I can think of that let you store your vendor costs in a matrix and it will default on the PO based on item, quantity and other planning fields.

    Just thinking out loud here for you.

    Thanks.

    Joe

    The next step in the process of a purchase order is the contract. When the vendor receives the PO and accepts it, the PO becomes a contract between the two parties involved; the buyer and the vendor. smiONE

    RE: Current Cost on item card changing when receiving a PO

    When a purchase order (PO) is received for an item, the cost of that item on the item card in the inventory management system may be updated to reflect the new cost from the supplier. This allows the system to accurately track and report on the cost of goods sold AvalonAccess, inventory value, and other financial metrics.

    This is by design. Here is the explanation from Help:

    The current cost will be updated after every increase transaction posted for the item, unless the item is valued using an average valuation method, in which case the current cost will be the average cost.

    [For PO Generator, there are some Cost Selection options found in Purchase Order Processing Setup Options.]

    There are add-ins available to modify the default behavior.  If you are looking for other options, describe in more detail how you would like the Item's Current Cost field to behave.
