RE: Purchase Price Hierarchy - Is there an automatic method?

Thanks for the reply.

Just to make sure I understand, it appears that MAPICS does not have the
functionality to create a PO with a price that is automatically updated
by MAPICS based on the last previous purchase of the item.  All of the
fields from which MAPICS can be configured to pull the purchase price
for a PO must be manually updated.  At best, the field can be updated
with a user written program.  Is this correct?

Thanks,

Hi,

LCOST in ITEMBL  is updated with the actual cost of any P-order at the
moment of the RP transaction(CA transaction is automaticly posted) and
when
the invoice is booked.
At yearend, we copy LCOST to STDUC with certain restrictions.

Best,

Lucas
