Price Variance Postings
Overview
Purchase Orders are input on to the system with different products, and product costs. Sometimes the cost specified on the order, is actually different to the value invoiced by the Supplier.Â
In this instance, in the ‘Purchase Order’ window under the ‘Invoicing’ tab, the ‘Inv Value’ entered by the user would be different to the original expected cost input under the ‘Purchase Order Details’ tab.
Please see section above which explains when a Purchase Order Invoice is posted to Sage which is also when a PO Price Variance posting is sent to Sage.
