Outcome of setting this control record	Determines if the system checks all cells for the best cost for an item on an order.
Default Value(s)	No
Example(s)	If set to Yes, if a vendor/group matrix cell has a better cost than a vendor/product matrix cell, the system uses the vendor/group cost.
Dependencies	The system uses this control maintenance record only if the Enable Best Cost Check In Purchase Order Entry control maintenance record is set to No.

Use this record to ignore the effective date hierarchy imposed when finding the best price for a purchase order. More:

Options	Yes - The system uses the buy matrix cell that has the better price for your purchase order. If multiple associated matrix cells are in effect for the same vendor and product/group, the system selects the matrix cell with the lowest cost, regardless of the effective date unless you select a different matrix cell in the Vendor Matrix Cell Selection window. No - The system uses the buy matrix cell with the most current effective date. The system uses the setting in the Best Cost Check Through All Matrix Cells For Purchase Orders control maintenance record to determine which matrix cell to use.
Outcome of setting this control record	Set this record to Yes to use the best cost available in the pricing matrix, regardless of whether it is the cell with the most recent effective date.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No. The system uses the setting in the Best Cost Check Through All Matrix Cells For Purchase Orders control maintenance record.
Additional Information	You can override a system-selected contract and use a different contract by selecting the Edit Order > Pricing menu option and then the Edit > Matrix Creation option in the Vendor Matrix Cell Selection window. A selection window displays if multiple matrix cells are in effect. Following an override, the system notes the user, associated information, and what the user did in the change log for Purchase Order Entry. The functionality in this control maintenance record is in effect for both Buy Matrix Maintenance and Quick Buy Matrix Maintenance.
