Conditions That Affect How Cost Levels are Used When Creating a Purchase Order

Q: This article explains the conditions that affect how cost levels are used when creating a purchase order.

A: Please refer to the list below for conditions that affect how cost levels are used in a purchase order for a specific vendor and item:

Vendor Part NumbersThere maybe several vendor part numbers assigned to one item. The cost level that will be used will depend on the vendor part number selected.
Effective DatesIn order to use cost levels assigned for that item, the purchase order must fall within the effective date range (Effective From and Effective To fields) defined for the cost level.
Beginning and Ending QuantityThe quantity assigned to a line item when creating a purchase order will determine which price from the cost level is used.
Multiple Line ItemsIf there are several line items for the same item on the same purchase order, Sage Pro ERP will not add the quantity from all the line items to calculate which cost level is to be used for all. The is due to the fact that the different line items may originate from different suppliers and locations. Each line item will have its own cost level applied to it, depending on the quantity.
