Purpose: PO’s prices should be correct when sending to the supplier. Understanding where these prices are populated from and how they will be stored added and updated within Commusoft can help maintain a more accurate and regularly updated price list.
Please note:
- This applies to PO's created manually on a supplier and on a job.
- Only for PO's with line item type ‘Parts’.
- Supplier stored price supersedes stored based price when available on a PO.
- PO unit cost used on saving will be stored as supplier price within parts and prices when the price is not stored.
- PO unit cost used on saving will update supplier price within parts and prices if different to the current stored price.
- Updates to prices are for supplier-related prices and not base prices.
- PO pdf will show ‘Supplier product code’ over ‘Manufacturers part number’ when available.
