Unit Cost

The unit cost of the item from the shipment's originating site at the time that a transfer order is entered displays. In a sense, this is an estimated cost. When the transfer order is shipped, the system will recalculate this field.

If you are using LIFO, FIFO or Specific Costing, the system uses the Current Unit Cost on the Items form. If you are using Average or Standard Costing, the system uses the Unit Cost on the Items form.

Note: The Unit Cost is always stored in the domestic currency of the site where the transfer order is stored. A transfer order stored at the From site will reflect the unit cost of the domestic currency used at the From site, while a transfer order stored at the To site will reflect the Unit Cost of the domestic currency used at the To site.
