Purchase Order Quantity

The purchase order quantity is the quantity of this item to purchase, in your

stocking unit of measure. Enter any quantity up to six digits in the PO Qty

column. You may not enter decimal quantities in this field. When you enter

this quantity, the net amount is calculated and is displayed in the Net Amt

column if a cost is displayed, and the cursor moves to the Cost column. This

information is also displayed in the line detail window if you are using the

split screen.

If you are working with a central purchase order, and automatic central

quantity distribution is enabled for this purchase order, the Central Quantity

Distribution Entry window opens when you enter a quantity on a purchase

order line. Refer to the section “Enter Central Purchase Order Distribution

Option” later in this chapter for more information.

Vendor Cost

A cost is displayed in the Vendor cost field if a value for the vendor's cost is

held in the item/vendor record for this item. The value that displays is

determined by the PO Entry Replacement Cost Option preference. Use this

preference to use the vendor item unit cost or the item replacement cost.

Refer to your System Preferences Guide for more information.

You can accept the displayed cost, or you can enter a cost for the item in the

vendor's costing unit of measure. Enter a cost up to eight digits, including

three decimal places. Any item cost breaks and line discounts are calculated

in the displayed cost. Cost group breaks are also calculated if anticipated

purchases have been entered. If you enter a new or modified cost, the

amount in the Net Amt column is recalculated and is displayed on this line,

and the cursor moves to the Item Cd column on the next purchase order

line. This information is also displayed in the line detail window if you are

using the split screen.

The amount that is displayed in the Net Amt column is

calculated by multiplying the purchase order quantity by your

cost in your costing unit of measure (PO Qty x Cost = Net Amt).

Therefore, the displayed net amount may not equal the

purchase order quantity multiplied by the vendor cost, since the

vendor cost is in the vendor's costing unit of measure.
