Not a great answer I'm afraid Gareth.  Let me give you a scenario...

We raise many purchase orders that have up to 20 lines in the order.  Historically, Sage have clearly recognised this and developed the 'Duplicate' feature in order to both save time and assure accuracy for a repeat order.  The problem with this is that when duplicating the order, it does not update the product prices to the current price against the products - it uses the price the price from the order being duplicated.

Then, as you know, when delivering the order Sage updates the product Last Cost Price to the old price.  The only way I have found around this is to duplicate the order and then reselect every line item - clip the product dropdown, select the same item and then OK.  So what's the advantage of 'Duplicate'?

I, like many others (including Gazmoz who I see has also posted the same problem as a separate thread), keep our product prices up to date by updating the product itself, not by Sage updating it for us.  This is because Sage is flawed in this way in that, having multiple persons using the system, we cannot possibly ensure the prices are accurate when Sage updates them itself it the various different ways you have identified.

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.

I just think Sage in a lot of ways is unfit for purpose operationally and a lot of my probs seem to be basic things.

I get your point in your post but bit of a different issue.

Yeah when duplicating or memorizing it wont pull through current cost price or sales price (for both Purchase orders, sales orders, invoices etc) in customer price list prices. But all you need to do instead of reselecting the line is take the last letter out of supplier ac ref then enter and it refreshes whole order bringing through all current prices for PO same on sales side for quotes, SO;s invs etc.

But as you know PO prob is if cost prices change in between PO being raised and marked complete will overide last cost price with pop item unit price at time po raised.

Thanks for the tip Gazmoz, that works a treat.  Hadn't considered trying that.
