estimated Price flag in PO

Estimated price flag is self explanatory by its name i.e.  price of an item which is not actual but an estimated.

 

If you do not know the exact net price of a material, you can indicate that the price is an estimated price.

 

There are often certain vendors or certain purchase orders for which the price is almost always wrong because you do not always know when the purchase order is raised. There may be further actions after ordering that affect the price, for instance. If this is the case, you can flag the price as estimated price in PO condition control tab. This will ensure that estimated price tolerance is checked instead of normal price variance tolerance. This flag is ideal in situations where you have variable prices but there is an element of trust wit the vendor used.

 

In consequence, a greater price variance is tolerated during invoice verification.

 

To maintain an estimated price, enter the amount in the Net price field on the item detail screen and select the Estimated price field in conditions tab of PO.

Delivery tolerance in PO

 

PO first will give priority to contract then info record and then material master, since in contract the tolerance limit was set to 0. We are getting over and under delivery tolerance limit as 0 in PO.

 

So change the tolerance limit in contract to get it right in PO.
