Can anyone describe the meaning and the source of "Direct Unit Cost Excl. VAT" and "Unit Cost (LCY)" on Purchase Order Line when Type is "G/L Account". I found the description in any website but they described for Type = Item.

Basically it has the same meaning, but G/L accounts can frequently be used for purchasing services, thus the quantity for such purchase is usually 1. You will not need "Unit Cost (LCY)" directly if you post it to G/L account.

For Type = "G/L Account", "Unit Cost (LCY)" will not be used.

"Direct Unit Cost Excl. VAT"needs to be punched manually and would be used for further financial posting.

Also, this value woudl be populated in "Unit Cost (LCY)" field. In case, If it is foreign currency, this field value will be converted in local currency. However this field value would not be used further in posting.
