Changing COGS Using a Pricing Override

Authorized users use the Cost of Goods Sold Override screen to override pricing on an order. Use this screen to adjust the cost of goods sold (COGS) information, and then apply the adjustment to all items on an order. Any adjustment applies to subsequently entered items.

Use the Notify User When COGS Is Updated control maintenance record to make sure the appropriate personnel are notified when COGS has changed.

Use the Direct COGS Always Vendor Price control maintenance record if you want to always use the vendor price for direct cost of goods sold on orders.

To override the cost of goods sold:

Create or open a sales order and display the Body screen.
Use the Pricing hot key to open the Pricing Override screen.
Select the COGSOvrd hot key to display the Cost of Goods Sold Override screen.
In the Cost Date field, enter the price sheet date used for the item's pricing.
In the Basis field, enter the global price basis to override, such as COGS-COST or Order COGS. If your entry is not valid, the COGS Selection screen displays a list to select from.
With a global basis specified, use the Formula field to enter a pricing formula.

Specify how to apply the price override to the current order generation:

In the Reprice All Items (Y/N) field, enter Y to reprice all items. Or, enter N to apply the override just to the current and subsequent line items.
If Reprice All Items (Y/N) is set to Y, use the Reprice Overrides field to specify whether to reprice items that were previously overridden on the current order generation.

When you are satisfied with the price override, press Esc to return to the Pricing Override screen.

Note: If the Prompt For Cost Code On Cost Override In SOE control maintenance record is set to Yes or Required, you will be prompted to enter a cost override code.
