  • GP2018 Purchase Order form

    Posted by Thomas Hill on February 27, 2025 at 9:51 am

    We are using GP2018. I was showing one of our buyers, to enter the total price of the item she is buying, as well as the quantity. GP2018 will back into the unit. The product is sold to FOUR DECIMAL places while are set up is for TWO DECIMALS.

    On the entry screen it is all correct. She is putting in a total for the line item (the only item) of $352.00. But when the purchase order is printed it prints $350.00. The vendor’s invoice will have the $352.00 so I will have a price variance.

    Any suggestions?

    Has the Purchase order form been modified. I would check if the original version of the form prints the correct values.

    It is possible that the report is set up incorrectly to format the decimal places incorrectly.

    I am going to say that I do not think any modifications have been made to the form. The general rule of thumb is to not change anything that is working.

    The process changed on this one, putting the quantity to order and the extended total price so that GP2018 backfills the unit cost. When we upgraded to GP2018 in January (for the new year). It was an upgrade. I suggested that the number of decimal places on purchase order / inventory items be expanded to 4-decimal instead of 2-decimal. So many of our vendors are doing this now.

    Can that be expanded at any point?

    What is the Item currency decimals places?? GP does allow you to change that – but only in limited situations. Note – it also changes your customer pricing to 4 decimals…

    How many items are affected?

    Best,
