Questions at this stage

make PR. Reduces work for Purchase dept, reduces errors.

• Allow to copy , previous PO ?– Ok, only if PR is compulsory.– IF PR is compulsory, remove this option– If PR is not required, then take this option

Questions at this stage

• Allow PR Quantity change ?• If PR is for 1000 kg, I can make PO for 4000 kg ?– Recommended that don’t allow, for better control– You can reduce in PO, but, not increase

Questions at this stage

• Rates for the PO : fill here manually or auto fill, from approved vendor list ? – – Idea : make one more step, approved vendor price list. Fix

prices there. Fix taxes there, fix discounts there. Approve that list

– Now, in the future PO’s, the rate + tax are automatically from that table.

– Good = • for additional control

– Demerit = • Some companies don’t like to have one more step. • Not ok for highly fluctuating prices

Now, this is a “DRAFT Purchase Order”

Questions at this stage• Should we allow Printout of “Draft Purchase order” ? • Or is that “Not allowed” ?

– Best Business Practice (BBP) : don’t allow– Reason : if draft PO is printed, / or made PDF, it can be misused, – That draft printout can be sent without permission to the vendor, vendor

may supply the goods, and then you end up receiving the goods, even if they were not required.

– Ideal situation = The Approving authority must approve “online. And then it must be sent as PDF to the vendor. With “authorised-by” auto printed on the PO.

– Good = for additional control– This control is “Not suitable” for companies where Directors don’t approve

“online”.

Questions at this stage• Should we print the made by, checked by, authorised by ? At

the bottom of the PO , automatically ?– Best Business Practice (BBP) : Yes– Reason : proof that it is authorised by them.– Good = for additional control– This control is “Not suitable” for companies where Directors don’t approve

“online”.

Another Lock ?

• Don’t allow Multiple Open Purchase orders for same item to same party ….

• Finsys Recommends = YES• Benefit = – Prevents errors at Gate, which PO ? Only 1.– Prevents multiple Rates for same item – Controls the vendor– Proper stock valuation
