Unit Cost

The default value is the Material Unit Cost from the PO line item. When you click Generate, this field is copied to the PO line item Material Unit Cost field.

You can calculate the unit cost automatically when the Dist Amt has been changed to match the vendor's invoice amount. Such a change can occur when the price changes after the PO items were received. To calculate the amount, use the Update Unit Cost button. The result is entered in the Unit Cost field. The Current Dist field is not affected.

Note:  The Unit Cost field reflects the material cost of the item only.
