Non-PO Receipt: Part Cost Not Applied Unless Drop-Down Selection is Clicked

Hi Cetec team,

We’ve noticed something in the non-PO receipt workflow that might be worth looking into.

When entering a non-PO receipt, the part number field auto-fills as expected. However, the cost field stays blank if you don’t select it from the drop-down menu and instead click over to the quantity field. If you submit the receipt in that state, the part is received into inventory with a cost of $0. Should it flag that the cost field is empty rather than filling in $0? Or maybe fill in zero but throw a warning message up possibly? Or maybe have the option with a config setting?

On the other hand, if you select the part number from the drop-down, the default cost is displayed as expected.

This is something I specifically noticed on a part where we had two parts that have similar part number structures such as:

RAWUHP15004X10
RAWUHP15004X10B (same sheet but in black)

This seems like it could be problematic since it’s easy to overlook, and could result in incorrect costing if someone doesn’t realize that extra step is necessary. Should the system pull in the default cost either way once a valid part number is entered?

I can make a quick screen recording if this is confusing at all. Let me know!

Appreciate you looking into it—thanks so much for all the continued support!

Best,
Alex

There is a config setting you can use that would help on normal POs (Hide Cost At Receipt, Force To PO Line Cost), but for Non-PO receipts there is nothing to prevent that. There is only a way to prevent non-PO receipts (Block Non PO Receipts).

With non-PO receipts, you can adjust the bin cost after receipt if things get messed up at receipt. Are you currently receiving without a PO on a regular basis?

Thanks,
