- Each supplier has its own set of costs.
- When the stock is has been received the cost on of the matching product supplier is updated.
- The units on the product supplier record are very important. Get those wrong and the stock on hand can go wildly out. The units supplied by each supplier can vary. For example full boxes from the manufacture manufacturer but individual units from the wholesaler. The units are:
- Default Buy Unit (the unit costs are quoted in). Just managers the unit the cost is quoted in.
- Buy Ship Unit (the unit the supplier actually uses to ship the stock)
- When you purchase from different suppliers the cost for that supplier is printed on the purchase order (default buy unit).
