Overview
The following process will demonstrate a quick way to adjust the price of items in a RFQ/PO based on a chosen group such as manufacturer or the other item classifications including UDClassifications 1 - 5 found on the Classifications tab of the item. Within a RFQ and/or Purchase Order ( PO ) , based on selected item classifications or groups, a Purchasing manager can efficiently and accurately modify pricing based on chosen categories.
Assumptions
Access to the Price Adjustments screen requires users to possess both the “ Change Cost - RFQ / PO ” and
“Change Net Price” security permissions. Without these, the button will be disabled with a tooltip stating
“Must have both Change Cost - RFQ / PO and Change Net Price security to access this .”
Navigate to Admin>Security>Order Actions
Change PO Price/Cost after Conversion
-
User HAS this security (as well as 2 required security objects): Price Adjustments will be enabled before and after conversion and can adjust for any items added after converting.
-
User does NOT have this security (but does have 2 required security objects): Price Adjustments button will only be enabled before conversion and if they add a new line item after conversion. After conversion, Price Adjustments button will be disabled unless they unlock and add new lines.
-
If they add line/s ot PO, and open Price Adjustments screen, they adjust for times they just added and already existing liens will show up in “not included” section of grid with a reason of “User does not have security to change cost after conversion”

-
Until user adds new line/s to PO, Price Adjustments button will be disabled and tan, and when hovered over a tooltip will appear stating,
-
“Must have Change PO Price/Cost after Conversion security object to access this.”
