Assigning a Default Item Cost

If you use Sage ERP Accpac Inventory Control, you can specify during setup the type of cost you want the program to use when selecting default unit cost amounts to display for the item details you enter on transactions. The option displays costs by location for the item numbers in your Inventory Control system.

You can choose to display Most Recent Cost, Standard Cost, Average Cost, Last Unit Cost, Vendor Cost, or either of the two user-defined costs you can enter with item records in Inventory Control.

If you do not use Inventory Control, Vendor Cost is set as the default item cost and you cannot change it.

When entering transaction details, you can change the cost amount that appears. You can also change your choice for the Default Item Cost option at any time.
