Our purchasing agent just wrote a PO worth $1095 and was able to approve it, even though her max is $999.99
 
The item is a Make From. Looks like the program is subtracting the value of the parts we are sending to the vendor from the total value of the PO. The Accounting dept is scratching their heads. Should that do that?
 
I could argue either side, but since we are not charging the vendor for the parts we are sending, and since they will not net out of the invoice, the invoice amount will be more than $999.99, which is the key in the eyes of our auditors. Therefore, I feel that Make From items should be ignored in the calculation.

The PO line for the item being purchased has a total of $1095.00
 
The M1 PO line for the part we send to the vendor has a value of $-631.00 (cost of $6.31 time 100)
 
The PO nets to $464.00
 
Why did $6.31 pull in?

She's the one who complained to me about it. I'm certain that she did not add the cost to the price field.
