Use the Price Reference tabbed region in the Purchase Orders window to enter pricing information for purchase order lines.
To enter price reference information:
Select the Price Reference tabbed region in the Purchase Orders window.
Enter the List Price for the item. If you have entered an item, Purchasing displays the list price for the item. (See: Defining Items.) You can accept the default list price or change it. Use this field to help evaluate your buyers. Purchasing uses the list price you enter here in the savings analysis reports. See: Savings Analysis Report (By Buyer) and Savings Analysis Report (By Category).
Enter the latest Market Price for the item. If you enter an item, Purchasing displays the market price for the item. Use this field to help evaluate your buyers. Purchasing uses the price you enter here in the savings analysis reports if you do not provide a value in the List Price field.
Enter the Price Type from your lookup codes. See: Defining Lookup Codes.
For planned purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements only, check Allow Price Override to indicate that the release price can be greater than the price on the purchase agreement line. If you allow a price override, the release price cannot exceed the Price Limit specified on the line. If you do not allow a price override, Purchasing displays on the release the shipment price from the purchase agreement and prevents you from updating it. You cannot enter this field if the line type is amount based.
If you allow price override, enter the Price Limit. This is the maximum price per item you allow for the item on this agreement line.
Select Negotiated to indicate that the purchase price is negotiated. If the actual price is greater than or equal to the list price, then the field is unchecked as the default. If the actual price is less than the list price, then the field is checked as the default. You can accept the default value or change it.
