No Authority to use Entered unit cost PO100 error

I had started a case with Lawson Support re: "this PO100 error No Authority to use Entered unit cost" Same requestor-same requisition-same vendor-same contract and 1 item was stuck in PO23. I pulled it with no changes. The RQ04 set-up for the requestor is just like mine. I am trying to figure out the logic of this error. Is there another setting somewhere for "Authority". Also has happen on specials where $1.00 is entered but sometimes it pulls on through with the PO100 and sometimes not. All RQ04 the same. Happens on Bill onlys sometimes and 1 nonstock item will stay in PO23. Can anyone give me a clue? I have to be overlooking something.

We had this error once. I did notice on ours that the requisition line had a N for Override Cost Flag. I don't remember what we did to resolve this. Sorry not much help.

Also, have you check PO04 for the Buyer setup?

It pulls from the RQ04 record. The requester isn't permitted to create pricing so if it can't find a po25.6 it gets stuck on PO23. If it's Bill Only - I'd check to see if the item UOM they used was valid.

If it's an x item and that's the screen shot - I'm at a loss.

THIRD EDIT: "Same requestor-same requisition-same vendor-same contract" -- check PO25 header and verify "UOMs must match" is Y or N - if it's Y, and the bill only uses a different UOM than the PO25.6, it will not do the math. I would expect it to prompt the user - not get stuck on PO23 - based on your RQ04 screenshot - but that might be the true source of the problem.

Yes-I did that. I believe the system is working as designed.

I am not 100% sure I got it but I closed the close anyway as the system is working as designed. 1 from this am the contract had expired and the requestor has entered $1.00 so I can see it makes sense for this one. The other 2 were on a dual contract and I believe the requestor overrode the price. I will test this one and if that is the case it makes sense.

But why an X type gets stuck-that's a puzzle for now.
