Ask to update Product Unit Cost when saving a new Purchase Order

Ask to update Product Unit Cost when saving a new Purchase Order

Recently, you implemented Theoretical Inventory Valuation that is based on the Unit Cost field that is located within the product's Details page. This is a great feature that allows us to compare our inventory valuations against our all-time average unit cost against our most recent unit cost.

 

It would be awesome if, when saving a new purchase order, a window or message would pop up asking (yes or no) if we would like to update that product's Unit Cost Field to the unit cost used on that new purchase order.

 

Having the option is key, as there are times when you do not want a particular purchase order to change that information.

This would make it very easy to accurately maintain a current theoretical valuation.

Thank you for your idea, @nickV7AL5 

What are your thoughts on taking advantage of the batch cost update feature (which at the moment considers only the produced products operations) and extend it to also consider the receiving inventory movements performed on a certain time interval? This would allow to instead consider the cost of what was actually received and do an average in case the same product has been received with different costs on a certain time interval.
