Accolent ERP stores the Standard Cost of an inventory product on an order. Users may change the stored Standard Cost on an order. The changed Standard Cost will show up on the Sales reports for that order after it is invoiced. However, the Standard Cost will not be changed for the product. This functionality may be used to adjust Standard Profit used for Commission or other purposes. Note however, that changing the Standard Cost will not affect the GL posting of the transaction.
