Vendor Purchase History Setup overview

We recommend you do not manually edit the existing field values to preserve purchase history. In rare situations, if you must edit, create, or delete purchase history, some fields in this function are editable.

The purchase history is yearly, based on a product line sold by this vendor, or solely by vendor. Four balances are displayed for each month of the selected year. The purchase history is compiled from this processing:

• The Sales Entry Invoice Processing Report updates the purchase history records with sales information when an order line containing the correct vendor number and product line combination is processed. The costing information is updated by Vendor Invoice Center Entry costing.
• Before Vendor Invoice Center Entry costing updates the Vendor Purchase History Setup records, costing first checks to see if a product line was specified the Purchase Order Entry header.
• If no product line was specified, costing then checks if the Purchase Order Entry vendor matches the ARP vendor in Product Warehouse Product Setup.
• If there is a match, then Vendor Invoice Center Entry costing uses the product line specified in Product Warehouse Product Setup for the Vendor Purchase History Setup update.
• If there is no match, a blank product line is used to update Vendor Purchase History Setup.
• Depending on how Product Line Setup is set up, Sales Order Entry updates these fields:  Quantity, Weight, Cube, Amount Sold: Amount Sales, Cost of Sales.
• Vendor Invoice Center Entry costing updates these fields: Quantity, Weight, Cube, Amount Purchased.
• The Product Administration Review Cycle Adjustment Report also uses the purchase history information.
