Re: One item different costs

HI Jeff

Contracts are by vendor/item. if your goal is to have a correct purchase price on a PO, then using contracts when entering Purchase Orders will accomplish this. If your objective is to have different cost rolls based on a vendors item cost, you will find that an difficult task using PDM... EPDM allows for multiple sites where each site has its own item master (item revision in EPDM).This would allow for each site to have different costs at the item level.



Using a different item number where form, fit and function are the same just to track different costs is not wise.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] One item different costs

Hi list. I am pretty sure you cant do it, but I wanted to ask. We have the
green screen version of Product Data Management. We have some items that are
raw materials that come from different vendors. Each vendor has a different
cost. Currently we track that by having different item numbers for each
vendor. Is there a way to have one item number with different costs associated
to it? Maybe do something in the Product Structure to tell it which cost to
use? Thought I would check. Thanks
