P/O Future Prices (PO18)

The Future Purchase Prices (PO18) program allows you to set up Purchase Prices in advance. Changes made via PO18 affect Quantity Break Level 1 only. Future Purchase Prices are created in two ways:

1. Entering new Purchase Price information directly into PO18 (manually).
2. Using Recalculate Selling Prices (IM28) to update Purchase Prices.

Once Transfer Future Pricing (IM22) is processed, the Future Purchase Price is transferred to Maintain Purchasing Info (PO13).

1. Enter or select from the query a code in the Product Code field. The Product Query can be sorted by any of the following options:
   • Product
   • Description + Product
   • Product Line + Product Group + Product
   • Product Line + Product Group + Sort Seq + Product
   • Page + Product
   • Product Type + Product
   • Inventory Brands + Product
   • UPC Code + Product
   • EAN + Product
   • Global Trade Number + Product
   • Associated Item + Product
   • Royalty Code + Product
