Future cost

Future costs are pending price changes for vendor agreement lines. Future costs are used automatically by the application when the Effective Date is reached. You can also define cost parameters, or tolerances, that cannot be exceeded without user approval. On Vendor Price Agreement Import (PO536), the cost tolerances can be defined either as an amount, a percent, or both. Select Detail from Vendor Agreement Line, Item Detail (PO25.8) to enter future costs and the future cost effective dates. Use Accept or Delete Future Costs (PO36.6) to approve or delete vendor agreement lines that fall outside of the user-defined tolerances.
