Hi! I have a sales order with an item with FIFO valuation that is being drop shipped. When I invoice the customer it uses the cost from the linked PO, which is correct at $100. However, when trying to figure out margins on the SO, I can’t find the correct cost. Both the Unit Cost and Average Cost fields show $18 which is wrong. Also, the margin calculation fields don’t populate. Any ideas where I can find the correct cost on the SO?

The help docs indicate that it is intentionally made blank for lines marked for drop-shipping.

Est Margin columns from the Sales Order form reference

Perhaps it would be possible for the PO Receipt to modify the unit cost while it is completing the SO line, but it does not. There is a recent request for this feature, so definitely upvote it if this would be beneficial:

For the time being, I believe you would have to make a GI that joins the price through from the linked PO for drop ship lines and redo the calculation separately.
