The total cost on the on the purchase receipt is not taking in to consideration the line discount 

of an item. For example 10 items  @ 10 less 20% line discount will come to 80.

The total cost on the PR shows 100 instead of 80. The total cost is helpful to

compare the receipt with the vendor invoice totals.

Hi @fjm61 ,

I have investigated this issue, and currently in Acumatica the PO Receipt is a reflection of the cost of goods,while the AP Bill will reflect the financial cost which includes discounts.

I looked on our Production Ideas page, and I do not see that this has been added yet. Please consider adding this as a product improvement idea!  That way other users can vote for it, and our product managers can gather feedback.

 

Thank you!

Note that Field is removed starting from 2024 R1

Reason for removing this field since Purchase Receipt is not a financial document and all financial information has been excluded from this form. This field was not recalculating if the cost or quantity was changed in any line which had a discount applied. Only an approximate value was displayed. 

Vendor bills will have exact amounts of the PO.

We had a client who really liked to see this value even though the discounts weren’t properly reflected.  We customized to display the field again and made the limitation clear to the client.  This was fine for their usage.

We generate purchase receipts based on supplier bills, which may be in either local or foreign currency.

To ensure accuracy, it would be highly beneficial to display the correct total on the purchase receipt screen. This serves as a final verification step to confirm that all items have been received in the correct quantity, especially in cases where suppliers deliver only partial quantities.

For larger orders, we currently export line items into Excel, sum up the “Estimated IN Extended Cost,” and divide the total by the exchange rate to verify that the purchase receipt total matches the supplier bill. Once confirmed, we proceed with releasing the purchase receipt.

To enhance efficiency, it would be advantageous if the correct total based on line totals after applying line discounts in the document currency were automatically displayed on the purchase receipt screen, similar to features available in many other ERP solutions
