The Retail Merchandising SYSTEM (RMS) Purchase ORDER dialog prompts the user with a "Yes/No" message asking if manual costs should be overwritten when applying deals on ORDHEAD form. However, same user interaction is not provided for DSD orders CREATED through the Application Programming Interface (API). The assumption with DSD orders is that the receiving location (store) has a better idea what the supplier's cost is at the time of receiving than does the corporate system so RMS don't override any cost that were manually entered because the end result may be a higher cost. Any changes to this process will have to be built on a custom basis because they will not be applicable to the business processes of all clients.
