Multi-tiered items can be sold by the Case, Inner-pack or Each.  Most items are sold by the Each only, and do not require a selection.

For example, select VND to enter the supplier's Item Order Number.  Select UAUI to enter a UPC in 1-5-5 format.  See the Item ID Legend at the bottom of the window for a guide.

To use these fields, it's only necessary to enter a Net Cost or an Allowance and Base Cost.  The other fields populate when you click Validate. The costs should be based on your cost-of-record.

If this information is entered, it is compared with the supplier's cost-of-record.  If discrepancies are found, a Cost Discrepancy Report is sent to your designated contacts.
