Changing Prices Using a Price/Cost Override

Use the Price/Cost Override window to change the price or cost of products in a subtotal group. Subtotal groups are created in Job Bid Subtotal Maintenance. You can use subtotal groups to procure, manipulate, or reprice a group of products.

Note: For direct orders created for jobs in Job Management, the pricing information displayed in this window is view only.

In the Price/Cost Override window, if a user has the SOE.COST.EDIT authoroization key, it overrides the SOE.BID.COST.EDIT key.

Note: If you are assigned the PROCURE.COST.EDIT authorization key, but not the SOE.COGS.EDIT authorization key, you can only change the COMM-COST on procured items.

  1. Create or open a sales order and display the order's Body tab.

  2. From the Edit Ordermenu, select Pricing to display the Order Pricing Override window.
