update price while receiving
V12.05

4 weeks ago, I entered a few orders with the prices of that moment.
In the mean time, I updated the (cost)prices of my articles.

Now while receiving, the prices are set back to the old prices.

In the Options-Customisation/setup-Default Values / Options Tab there is a setting 'Price adjustment while recieving. This one is NOT set.
What's (am I doing) wrong?

Thanks

Chris

You are not doing anything wrong as this is working as designed.  The PO items were added at a specfic cost, and that is the cost that they default to when they are received.  Since any given item may be purchased from different suppliers at different costs, the cost during receiving is defaulted to the cost that was entered with the item when the PO was created to reflect the expected cost from that vendor.

Re: update price while receiving
Thanks Terry,

But what does the setting 'Price Adjustment While Receiving' do.
I thought it was for preventing this behaviour.

What happened is the following.
I made several PO before our holidays to be delivered after our holidays.
In the mean time the vendors price list changes. So I updated my inventory items. You are right that I bought the items at the cost they had before. But I wanted my items to maintain the 'List price' from my vendor and not changing into the old price. Is there a way to achieve this.

Regards

Chris

You are not doing anything wrong as this is working as designed.  The PO
items were added at a specfic cost, and that is the cost that they default
to when they are received.  Since any given item may be purchased from
different suppliers at different costs, the cost during receiving is
defaulted to the cost that was entered with the item when the PO was created
to reflect the expected cost from that vendor.

Chris,

But what does the setting 'Price Adjustment While Receiving' do.

The price adjustment while receiving function indicates if you want to allow for changing of the prices (sale price, list price, discount levels) for non-automatically priced items during the receiving process.  It has nothing to do with the costing on the items on the purchase orders.

What happened is the following.
I made several PO before our holidays to be delivered after our holidays.

There is no way to do this automatically.  Since it assumes that you will be receiving the items at the ordered cost the only option is to update the cost during the receiving session or edit the PO before receiving it.
