    Not all of our items are under a contract which means they show up as "0.00" in RQC or RQ10. This can confuse department level employees because the requisition will give them an error since there's no price. 

    So far our process has been to have the requestor put in a price of $1 which should signal our buyers to do research on what the actual pricing may be but the requestors still get confused. To limit some of these "$0.00" cost items, we've created fake contracts in PO25 that correspond to a last price paid for that hospital. This has become a nightmare to maintain as you can probably guess. 

    I figure there has to be a way to load in a price without having to create a contract but I'm just not sure how. What's the best way to load in an initial price without creating a contract so it won't default to $0?

      You can load the items with costs via IC511 or you can (you didn't hear this from me) create a QuickPaint form and update the "last cost" field.

        Hey David - I checked IC511 but I don't see how I'd load price into it. It's called "Item Master - Item Location Extract". Looks more like a report I can pull itemmast/itemloc data from.

          We have a paint screen as well, this allows me to enter a price, without a contract/PO25. Items without price hold up MSCM orders as well.

                Send me an email and I'll send you a document that explains it.

                  Paint is simplest, but can cause issues with security. If you are talking about stock items - you can use IC20 to receive in with a cost. Use IC21 to issue it out if you don't want the stock. Depending on your setups, this populates last cost for your defaults to find on reqs.
