Q.  Why is the Weighted Cost different from the PO History Information?

 

A.   The reason the weighted cost is different from the PO history information is because it derives from a complete different source. 

 

The information in the weighted cost button comes from current PO table, latest CO numbers (status 'open' or 'closed').  The date is NOT a PO original date, but the Version date the PO was last changed, no matter what was changed on the PO.  So the system will select PO with the latest version date for the given part and then calculate the average.  For further detail see Article 924 . 

 

 

The information in the PO History button comes from the last 10 PO's including their CO (status 'closed', 'open', or cancelled' if received qty >0).  So the system will select PO's from the PO original date. For further detail see Article 924 .
