PD cost change functions support foreign replacement costs

To enable scheduled updates of warehouse products records with foreign replacement costs, these functions now support the foreign replacement cost setup and processing:

  • PD Change Price and Cost Entry
  • PD Administrator Price/Costs Update Report
  • PD Future Price/Cost Change Setup
  • PD Administrator Future Price/Costs Report

The fields related to the foreign replacement cost are now available in PD Future Price/Cost Change Setup and PD Change Price and Cost Entry. The fields are Changed By, New Value, and Current Value. The Current Value field cannot be edited. The value reflects the current foreign replacement cost on the Product Warehouse Product Setup-Costs record.

You can use PD Future Price/Cost Change Setup, PD Change Price and Cost Entry, and PD Administrator Price/Costs Update Report to update foreign replacement costs instead of editing the value directly on Product Warehouse Product Setup-Costs records. If you use PD Future Price/Cost Change Setup, you must run the PD Administrator Future Price/Costs Report to update the product warehouse records. Two new options, For Repl-(N)ew,(D)Amt,(P)ct,% of S,L,B,I and For Repl-Amount or Percent were added to the PD Administrator Future Price/Costs Report to support the processing of foreign replacement costs.

If you use PD Change Price and Cost Entry, the product warehouse record is updated immediately. If you use PD Administrator Price/Costs Update Report, the product warehouse record is updated after the job is completed. You can create scheduled reports or run the reports manually.

In the PD Administrator Price/Costs Update Report or PD Administrator Future Price/Costs Report, the foreign replacement costs are updated using the same process that is used for 'replacement costs'. A new 'Foreign Replace Cost' column on each report's output displays the newly calculated cost.
