I have a site where this field is disabled, and therefore the user cannot enter the cost in the purchase receipt screen. But I cannot turn it back on and don’t know which settings/feature governs it. The in product help doesn’t mention about it either.

In addition to the below conditions. The Editable Unit Cost checkbox functionality is:
- If the “Allow AP Bill Before Receipt”.is Selected for the Vendor the Editable Unit Cost check box is NOT selected
- If the “Allow AP Bill Before Receipt”.is NOT Selected for the Vendor the Editable Unit Cost check box is NOT selected
- If the purchase order line has retainage or inclusive taxes applied, the Editable Unit Cost check box is cleared in the corresponding purchase receipt line.
- If the purchase order line does not have retainage or inclusive taxes applied, the Editable Unit Cost check box is selected in the corresponding purchase receipt line.

Not sure, why it is disabled on your site, do you have any customization for this?

Hi
Here is rule that determines the checkbox value, if the lines are copied from Purchase order:
- If the purchase order line has retainage or inclusive taxes applied, the Editable Unit Cost check box is cleared in the corresponding purchase receipt line.
- If the purchase order line does not have retainage or inclusive taxes applied, the Editable Unit Cost check box is selected in the corresponding purchase receipt line.

I was searching for the same answer to the original question. I found one other setting that affects the Editable Unit Cost field in some cases. If the Vendor has Allow AP Bills Before Receipt checked, then the unit cost is not editable on the Purchase Order Receipt for some items.
