The verify unit cost on purchase order option allows verifying the cost on the purchase order when editing the purchase order.  The option defaults to yes. 

When enabled, the verification will automatically match the purchase order with the corresponding product record and give an alert if the costs are different.  If a cost difference is found, a screen is displayed that allows either changing the purchase order cost to match the product record or to leaving the purchase order unchanged.

This feature performs the verification check when an individual purchase order line is edited, or when the Edit All Lines button is selected.  It does not automatically check all open purchase orders.

The verification is useful when a product cost changes after the purchase order has been generated and before the goods are ordered.
