The following list defines every field on the Detail Info folder of PO40:

The following fields automatically display information relevant to the current product. The information in these fields can be updated or can be left at the default values:

  • Purchase Price - displays the correct Purchase Price from PO13 depending on the quantity ordered. If you are modifying an existing line, the previously updated price displays in this field.

  • Discount - is used to discount the current line only. If a discount is assigned to the product in PO13, then that discount automatically displays in this field.

A positive amount in the discount field will reduce the price by the percentage discount amount entered, while a negative amount will increase the value of the product for this supplier.
