Jeff,
Since you are using PDM, not EPDM, costs are in ITEMASA and ITEMASB, and there's a cost available in ITEMBL. What are you attempting to do? We also had a situation where we could use materials from various vendors (similar situation - different costs from different vendors), but we handled that with substitutions at IM Order Entry time or we changed the order after it was released.
We ended up with cost variances from standard, but we handled that by doing our own job costing for materials just comparing a calculated end-item cost for the individual orders (running MODATA at current cost, std qty vs. issued qty). We did a compare against the end item std, but didn't use that for order variance, just for information.
Again, what are you attempting to accomplish?

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
Jeff Williams
