Vendor Prices

Form ID: (AP202000)

You can use this form to add, view, and edit each vendor's prices for stock and non-stock items. Changes made here become effective immediately.

Different vendors may offer different prices for the same item. You can create a price worksheet containing all prices for inventory items matching the selected criteria. For more information on vendor prices, see Maintaining Vendor Prices.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.

Button Description
Create Price Worksheet Navigates to the Vendor Price Worksheets (AP202010) form, where you can create a price worksheet containing all prices matching the criteria selected on the current form. By default, a new worksheet is created with the On Hold status and the current business date.
Note: If the selection of records contains multiple records defined for the same inventory item, but effective on different dates, the system forces you to specify particular date in the Effective As Of box to eliminate duplicates (all records in the worksheet are to be effective on the same date).

Selection Area

In the Selection area, you can select purchase prices for viewing—and possibly revising—by their vendor, particular inventory item, effective date, and item class. You can display only the prices of items assigned to your workgroup (or another specific workgroup), or you can display only the prices of the items assigned to you.

Item Class The item class of the prices of items for which you want to review purchase price information. You can leave the box blank to view information on item prices in all item classes.

Table

This table displays the prices for items that match the criteria you have specified. You can view and edit the existing items and add new records.

The visibility of records with the Vendor price type may be limited based on the roles assigned to the user account to which you are signed in if the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. With the feature enabled, the Restrict Visibility To box appears on the Financial tab of the Vendors (AP303000) form. The system displays the prices of the vendors for which one of the following is true:

  • The Restrict Visibility To box is empty for the vendor—that is, the vendor’s visibility is not restricted.
  • A branch, company, or company group is specified in the Restrict Visibility To box for the vendor, and your user account has the role specified in the Access Role box of the Configuration Settings section of one of the following: the Branch Details tab of the Branches (CS102000) form for the selected branch, or the Company Details tab of the Companies (CS101500) form for the selected company or a company within the company group.

The table toolbar includes only standard buttons. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar.
