Standard cost vs. Sales Order cost

Hello,

We are using Standard Costing for our inventory items.

Could someone explain the purpose of having the Unit Cost field on the Sales Order line item? That cost can be overwritten. When the invoice is posted the system uses the Standard Cost for COGS.

What does the Unit Cost on Sales Order Line do?

Thank you,

Oleg.

RE: Standard cost vs. Sales Order cost

Hi

As other experts mentioned this is mainly for information. Imagine you are a sales rep and you want to roughly calculate the profit on this item and your commission. or you want roughly calculate how much more discount you can give on this item.

As soon as item cost adjust runs BC adjust any Cost you added to this line (after post) to cost in item card.

Sales line is purely for info only. All COGS come from the value entries. Certain sales scenarios may require a price to be calculated based on the cost plus a required profit %

The main purpose of the field is to give you information about the expected cost of the items you register on your order.

So if you need to change a price you can have an idea of when your price will be so low that you will lose money on your sale.

I can not recall the number you type in there being posted in accordance to any of the item sales.
