Standing Orders have fields for Vendor and Cost. You can leave them blank as they are optional but, in case you want to use the automated process, the information needs to be completed.
Entering vendor and cost in foreign currency while adding or editing an Standing Order:
When a product is being added to a Standing Order for a vendor who has a different currency, the system will identify the currency and the exchange rate set up, so that the user enter the cost in the vendor currency and the price, in your company currency.
This also applies while adding products in units and mixed boxes. Costs will be entered in the foreign currency and by hovering the mouse over the currency name, the system will display the exchange rate and the unit cost, both in the vendor currency and in the company currency.
You can easily identify which SO's are missing vendor or cost information:
If the SO has a yellow warning on the "Comments" columns, it means that the SO is missing the vendor and/or cost information for at least one line item.
If the SO has a green check mark on the "Comments" column, it means all of the fields were completed.
