Loading costs on non-stock items

We are a non-healthcare company, do not inventory items and only create non-stock part numbers on recurring items. The majority of our purchases are done as Specials. We have a set of non-stock items that we do have special pricing on that we need to be sure are carried to POs. Has anyone set costs on non-stock items in the system without using the inventory or contract management modules?

Hey Heather - if you are using item locations then you can try using "Last Receipt Cost". There is an option to use the "Last Cost". You can also manually enter a cost here.

1.) Enter the last receipt cost on an item location record.

2.) Create an order for a location utilizing that location in RSS to confirm the pricing pulled through.

Thanks for the suggestion, Ben, but we do not currently use Item Location.

Are you V10 or FSM? V10 you can use Vendor Agreements (PO25) to load quotes.

We are in FSM.

I know you mention not using Contract Management, but that is exactly how we would do this in FSM.

One other area I would note to perhaps review is Supply Management Administrator > Groups And Companies > Purchasing Companies. There is a [Cost Default] tab within the purchasing company. You might review priority here with regard to Last PO. That being said, this still requires that a PO line exists in the system for the item at the desired price. I do not know of a way to default initial pricing without utilizing Contract Management.

Thank you for the information, Ryan. This was a fact finding mission for me, but I think without the contracts or inventory modules it will be difficult. The information about Cost Default in the Purchasing Company will be useful once initial POs are processed for the parts.
