Standard Cost Purchasing Issue with JobOps We all know the rules of a Standard Cost valued item and the cost hierarchy: Standard Cost is used to default on the PO (when there are no Vendor Price Levels in place). Here's an issue I am struggling with JobOps. 1. In WT Parts Entry I add a Standard Cost valued inventory item. 2. I check on the PO Check Box so that I can purchase it directly for the WT. 3. As soon as I check on that field, the Unit Cost automatically changes to Last Cost. 4. Last Cost happens to be different because the last time I purchased it I paid a premium or I purchased it from another vendor that is not the primary vendor. 5. My assigned Standard Cost for the item in Inventory is based on the cost I purchase it from the primary vendor (this is normal right?) 6. When I go forward to purchase the item - either from the WT Entry screen or from CEM - the Unit Cost now assigned in the WT part is used when generating the PO. What sense does it make that Last Cost overrides the Standard Cost that was previously assigned as the item's Unit Cost, just by checking on the PO checkbox? Wouldn't you expect that a Standard Cost item's Standard Cost should stay assigned the item? I welcome the opinions of all.

I have a client(standard cost for all items) that previously purchased to order, using CEM to generate all purchase orders and liked that the last cost was used. Then they started buying to stock and PO's are now generated using standard cost if vendor price levels do not exist, when they really wanted last cost, so CEM was customized. I think there needs to be more setup options within JobOps, i.e. CEM option to use last, average or standard. Time Tracker use diluted hours Yes or No.
