Fishbowl: Update line item costs and UOMs when changing vendors?
Update Line Items✕
Do you want the costs and uom's of existing line items to be updated based on the new vendor?
OK
What it means
When you change a vendor on a purchase order, Fishbowl is asking whether to update the line item costs and units of measure to match the new vendor’s pricing and specifications. This happens because the new vendor typically has different rates or UOMs than the previous vendor.
What to check
- Confirm the new vendor carries the same items you’re ordering. If not, the cost and UOM fields may not populate correctly.
- Review whether the new vendor’s pricing makes sense for your items before clicking yes. If unsure, click no and verify the vendor master record first.
- Consider your team’s workflow: some prefer to auto-update line items, others prefer to keep the original costs and edit manually.
