I try not to ask questions on here, but I am looking for a quick answer. I have custom code updating our Supplier Price List. My question is: if I am updating a supplier price from an external source to Epicor via the Erp.BO.VendPartSVC, should the Part Transaction History reflect that change?
No.
Mark,
Would it be a proper flow to create a transaction for this change? I have yet to fully dive into how the Part Transactions get triggered in my environment. Any documentation on how and why the transaction types get triggered would be greatly appreciated.
I would recommend searching Epicor’s help for “Inventory Transaction Heirarchy”
If you go into Epicor, and click any help link, this direct link will take you there afterwards:
Inventory Transaction Heirarchy
and
Inventory Transactions Technical Reference Guide

The PartTransaction file is the subledger to the G/L from Manufacturing. In AP, AR, and GL it’s the posting group. So, anything that changes the value of inventory (or expenses) will get a PartTransaction record. Updating the supplier price list has no posting record. When PO is created, the PO Cost will appear on the PO. When the PO is received, THEN the PartTransaction record is written.
Thank you. This helps a lot.
