Comparison to other ERPs

PeopleSoft

Based on the charges associated with a purchase order, the system creates estimated costs for purchase orders and receipts. When you receive and put away a weighted average or an actual costed item, the system values the transaction based on the total landed cost. For standard costed items, the system continues to use the item’s standard cost.
