  1. Go to Purchase Contracts application.
  
  
  2. Create a new Purchase Contract against Vendor BWC.
  
  
  3. Go to Contract Lines tab.
  
  
  4. Enter 2 new Contract Lines as the following info:
  
  Line 1:
  Line Type: Item
  Item: EB12 - 12 Volt Battery
  Quantity: 10.00
  
  Order Unit: EACH
  
  Unit Cost: 10.00
  
  
  Line 2:
  Line Type: Standard Service
  Item: ELEV - ELEVATOR REPAIR SERVICE
  Quantity: 10.00
  
  Order Unit: EACH
  
  Unit Cost: 10.00
  
  
  5. Save the record.
  
  
  6. Authorize the BEDFORD Site.
  
  7. Approve the Contract.
  
  8. Go to Create (Desktop) Requisition application.
  
  
  9. Accept the default values and click on Continue.
  
  10. In the Requisition Line Items section, click on New Row
  button.
  
  11. Enter the following info:
  Line Type: Item
  
  Item: EB12 (then hit the Tab key)
  Vendor: BWC (then hit the Tab key)
  
  12. Note that the system brings up the Unit Cost 10.00 from the
  Purchase Contract above. That's OK.
  
  
  13. Enter Quantity 1.00.
  
  14. Still in the Requisition Line Items section, click on New
  Row button again.
  
  15. Enter the following info:
  Line Type: Standard Service
  Item: ELEV (then hit the Tab key)
  Vendor: BWC (then hit the Tab key)
  
  RESULTS:
  When the Line Type is Standard Service, the system does not
  bring the Unit Cost from the Purchase Contract and the Unit Cost
  remains zeroed. This is the issue.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  The system should bring the Unit Cost from the Purchase Contract
  regardless the Line Type.

  * WHILE CREATING DESKTOP REQUISITION OF SERVICE ITEM, THE      *
  * SYSTEM DOES NOT BRING UNIT COST FROM PURCHASE CONTRACT       *
  ****************************************************************
  Currently,
  When the Line Type is Item,
  and when we add the itemnum the system brings up the standard
  cost from the inventory as unit cost.
  and when we add the vendor, the system brings up the unit cost
  from the purchase contract for that particular vendor.
  The Issue -
  When the Line Type is Standard Service (or line type any other
  than item and tool), the system does not bring the Unit Cost
  from the Purchase Contract and the Unit Cost remains zeroed.
  After the fix -
  When the Line Type is Standard Service / Service / Material
  (line type any other than item and tool),
  and when we add the itemnum, the system does not bring the Unit
  Cost as there is no standard cost for it.
  and when we add the vendor, the system brings up the unit cost
  from the purchase contract for that particular vendor.
