Material Cost

Two material cost values display:

• The value in the left column is the material cost for this line item from the purchase order.
• The value in the right column is the material cost for this line item from the purchase order acknowledgment.

If the material cost on the acknowledgment has been changed from that on the original purchase order, the record will not post. The discrepancy must be resolved in one of three ways:

• The material cost on the purchase order will be overwritten with the material cost on the acknowledgment (if the Allow Item Cost Override field is selected on the EDI Vendor Profiles form).
• You manually change the material cost on the Purchase Order Blanket Lines or Purchase Order Lines form so that the EDI Purchase Order Acknowledgment can be posted (if the Allow Item Cost Override field is cleared on the EDI Vendor Profile form).
• You contact the vendor and request that a new EDI PO Acknowledgment with a different material cost be submitted.
