PO Cost getting populated randomly
I've looked at 4 POs today and all had numbers in the cost and I'm confident that we didn't put numbers in because we hadn't confirmed the orders yet. See attached as example. The numbers being put in cost seem random and aren't even close to the actual amounts based upon vendor order confirmations. Can you figure out how these are getting populated and stop? These are HD orders, not Alta EDI orders. Thank you.
To troubleshoot, we will need the PO #s. If that is not possible, please reach out next time this occurs. A screen shot is also helpful
The original post that I provided had a screen shot of a customer PO with that information. Was that not enough?
Here's another one POSTE2521801-1 See attachment. The cost ($6820.00) was not entered by me and I'm pretty confident no one else on my team updated that amount.
I'm not sure where that # came from because it doesn't match anything on the order nor does it match the actual HD cost.
Any idea how the PO Cost is getting updated?
This is related to a new feature. MBC has the ability to track cost on the job. If you email or electronically send POs to MFG, it will show the job cost on the Purchase Order tab. For eOrders like Alta, that cost is populated from the MFG. For emailed POs, that cost is pulled from the Dealer Cost factor data on the Pricing/RPM. You may have noticed you can now enter a cost factor next to the RPM; this is used to calculate cost on PO. This also feeds the new Gross Profit report on Dashboard. The DCF defaults to MSRP, that is why that dollar amount doesn't match retail or cost.
That's brilliant what you did and the reason I've reported this is because I've not completed those fields across the board. Sometimes I see the cost and sometimes I don't and now I know why. Thank you! You can close this ticket.
