UNIT COST not showing on Purchase Orders

Posted on by baxter05

We recently upgraded to GP 2013 and were hoping this issue would have resolved itself but it didn't and we don't know how to fix it.

When we were on GP v10 the UNIT COST of an item would automatically be generated on a new PO pulling in from Vendor Last Originating Invoice Cost. When we upgraded to GP2010 we noticed that the Unit Cost would not be listed and we would have to manually list it (we did confirm that POP setup had not changed.)

Now that we are on GP2013 I've been asked to fix this issue and I have not found a solution. If anyone has any thoughts on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I barely remember what I had on lunch yesterday :)

But that was absolutely of an added value to me. Thanks,

Happy New Year.

Mahmoud & Frank,

As for me - I learn so much from both of you and do search your blogs. I think it was my search terms that caused me to miss Frank's article.

Thanks guys - you rock! Happy New Year!

Mahmoud, it works both ways. I find your posts to be informative and always very thorough. Funny thing is - I blogged about this at the time and forgot all about it - www.gp2themax.blogspot.com/.../originating-invoice-cost-not-populating.html. LOL

Frank

thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Unchecking the POP Cost Defaulter was the solution. The unit cost now shows on the PO entry.

Happy New Year!

Frank,

You are correct - the POP Cost Defaulter is enabled. I will need to be logged in as SA to make the change and allow the system to rebuild the GL table referenced. It will be tonight before I can log in as SA and make this happen. I will keep you posted. Thank you for the suggestion. From what I've read about this POP Cost Defaulter, I think you may be right.

Okay, try this - check to see if POP Cost Defaulter is enabled in Professional Services Tools Library. If it is, disable it by unchecking the second check box. I just remembered seeing this happen at a client earlier this year, with the same results you're seeing.

Frank,

no 3rd party apps unless you consider Collections Main and SmartList Builder 3rd party apps now. Also, no customizations that I am aware of.

Pam, do you have any 3rd party apps or customizations in your system that may be overriding standard behavior?
