Price History

Pricing occurs at the time of receipt only when the Grower Weigh Tag Receipt program (P40G0700) calls a version of the PO Receipts program (P4312) where the Price at Receipt processing option is set properly. You can have the system issue a warning message to let the user know that pricing at receipts is active.

Note: This warning does not indicate that pricing adjustments will be applied.

You cannot view receipts price history before the first weigh tag for a harvest record is closed. After you close the first weigh tag, the system generates a receipt and updates the Grower Harvest table (F40G03) with the associated purchase order.

  1. Set the Price History View processing option in the Grower Weigh Tag Receipt program (P40G0700) to edit price adjustments on closed weigh tags.

  2. Access the Weigh Tag Receipt program (P40G30) from the Weigh Tag Workbench (P31B94).

  3. Click the View Receipts link.

  4. Click the link in the Unit Cost column.

  5. Enter the edits on the Price History form.

    Note: Values entered in the Price History form are stored in the Price History table (F4074)

For all subsequent weigh tags created for a harvest record, you can view the price history. However, you cannot edit the price history until the weigh tag is closed and the receipt is complete.

When using standard costing, the final unit cost is calculated by the pricing adjustment and the system writes it to the general ledger. When using nonstandard costing, the base price and each adjustment is written as separate lines to the general ledger. When using journal entry summarization, the system writes the base price and adjustments to separate lines only when writing to separate accounts. Automatic accounting instruction 4326, is used for the adjustment lines.

Note: After a purchase order is created for a harvest record, the pricing system uses the adjustment schedule from the purchase order to apply pricing to all subsequent weigh tags. If the user changes the adjustment schedule attached to the supplier, the changed schedule is not used. You must modify the adjustments within the adjustment schedule that is attached to the purchase order.
