Product Cost not Accurately Displaying in Purchase Order

[HiloKC]

Current Situation:

• Create New Product
• Add "Price" (Price Charged to Customer) eg: $1.00
• Add "Cost" (Amount Vendor Charges You for Product) eg: $0.7523 -Create New Purchase Order
• Input Vendor, Dates, etc.
• Click "+ Add Item"
• Select Existing Product (created earlier) from drop down
• Product Information is populated in Purchase Order
• Unit Cost Displayed is not product "Cost" (eg $0.75) but instead is the product "Price" (eg $1.00)

Can't see anywhere in issues or documentation where this specific issue has been addressed.

The simple request here is for the purchase order to accurately pull up the product "Cost" so that PO with accurate cost can be sent to Vendor. The only workaround is to manually input the Cost in the the "Unit Cost" line (eg manually change cost from $1.001 to $0.7523). Is there a fix to ensure proper Unit Cost is displayed in the PO as well as ensuring cost can extend out 4 decimals rather than automatically round to 2 decimals (which causes large calculation errors in higher volume products)?

@Civolilah for purchase orders, if product cost > 0, then we should show item.product_cost instead of item.price

@turbo124 @Civolilah thanks for taking a look at this. Please note that now in the Invoice Ninja Mobile app, the product cost is correctly showing as the cost in new Purchase Orders created. However in the website (app.invoicing.co) the cost in new Purchase orders is still showing up incorrectly as the product price, not the cost.

@HiloKC Thanks for your advices! The issue will be fixed. However, you also mentioned rounding the unit_cost to more than 2 decimals, which is the default. In the Settings > User Details > Preferences > Number precision, there is an input field where you can specify the number of decimal places you want to round the unit_cost column to.
