Not all of our items are under a contract which means they show up as "0.00" in RQC or RQ10. This can confuse department level employees because the requisition will give them an error since there's no price.
So far our process has been to have the requestor put in a price of $1 which should signal our buyers to do research on what the actual pricing may be but the requestors still get confused. To limit some of these "$0.00" cost items, we've created fake contracts in PO25 that correspond to a last price paid for that hospital. This has become a nightmare to maintain as you can probably guess.
I figure there has to be a way to load in a price without having to create a contract but I'm just not sure how. What's the best way to load in an initial price without creating a contract so it won't default to $0?
