PRICE/COST Relationship Fields in PO Form Views Aren't Properly Reflected

It was discovered today and logged with RTI that in Retail Pro v8, when looking at a Purchase Order in FORM view, the price/cost relationship fields (Margin %, Markup %, or Coefficient) might not be properly reflected. If the PO P$ or PO C$ values are changed (as does happen when a vendor tells a retailer that their costs are going up) the price/cost relationship fields still reflect the INVENTORY price/cost relationship. A better picture of what is wrong is shown below.





Thankfully, the FORM view of vouchers does properly reflect the price/cost relationship of that specfic document. So, as long as retailers continue using the VOUCHER form view to gauge their price/cost relationship fields there won't be a system impact.

Meanwhile, RTI is testing this new discovery.
