COGS and Cost Authorization Keys

The following authorization keys control a user's ability to edit the cost of goods sold.

COGS.EDIT, COGS.EDIT.DIRECT, COGS.EDIT.NONSTOCK

These authorization keys allow users with access to sales order entry to change the COGS amount for stock, direct, and nonstock items as follows:

• COGS.EDIT applies to stock items. More:

  Job Roles	Sales staff with authority to adjust COGS amount for stock, direct, and nonstock items.
  Levels	This key has 10 levels. The level number determines which local basis names display in the user's selection list. Users assigned level 10 select a cost basis from a list of all cost basis names. Users assigned levels 1-9 select a cost basis from a list of cost basis names with a view level (VLvL) equal to or less than the user's view level. Define cost and price basis name view levels in Price Line Maintenance.
  Dependencies	To allow users to view Landed Cost, Average Landed Cost, Order COGS, and Order Comm Cost for a product, assign the COGS.EDIT authorization key with a level greater than or equal to the level assigned to the To See Standard Global Basis When Costing, User Must Have Level control maintenance record.
  Additional Information	When changing the cost for a group of products, on a window such as SOE Subtotals, Job Bid Subtotal Maintenance, or Pricing Override, the VLvL assigned in the Global Buy/Sell Basis Names control maintenance record determines the basis names on the selection list.
  	If a user with COGS.EDIT.DIRECT and COGS.EDIT.NONSTOCK authorization changes the COGS for a stock item and nonstock item on a direct sales order and then changes the status of the order to a non-direct status, such as Call When Complete, the system removes the override on the stock item and reassigns the original COGS. The nonstock item retains its override.
