Purchase Order Unit Cost

The Purchase Order Unit Cost defines the cost that has been agreed with the vendor for the purchase.  The entered cost is saved as the Replacement Cost, and is defaulted into the Purchase Order Unit Cost the next time that the part is ordered.  

Under the following conditions only, the Purchase Order Unit Cost should define the TOTAL cost for the ordered part rather than a cost per unit:

A Phantom purchase order corresponds to a specific operation on a manufacturing order that is being sent outside of the factory for subcontracted labor or processing.  The miscellaneous cost is defined for the Workcenter that is associated with the operation and a fixed cost is one that has a rate code of 'X', 'Y' or 'Z'.  If the order is a Phantom purchase order and the associated miscellaneous cost has been defined as fixed, the Purchase Order Unit Cost should define the TOTAL cost of the order.
