Purchase Order Control
The Purchaser Order Control system is designed for the input, authorization and maintenance of requisitions and purchase orders, from the time of entry to the receipt of the material. A received purchase order is automatically forwarded to the
A/P module pending receipt of the vendor’s invoices.
The operator can match the vendor’s invoice to the received purchase order thereby approving the invoice for payment. Pricing discrepancies (between the value of the purchase order at the time of receipt of the material and the value of the vendor’s invoice) are resolved in either the inventory or the cost-of-sales account as required by the operator and the situation.
The "InTerAct" system maintains a landed average unit cost of well as a landed average unit burden cost. These costs are determined at the time of receipt of material and then updated, as required, upon receipt of the various vendor invoices. The on-hand and on-order quantities are maintained upon receipt of purchase orders.
There are other programs available in the Purchase Order system to provide for a screen display of a purchase order and other various reports to expedite and control all stages of purchase order processing from inception to receipt.
