Select Purchase & Procurement Module

Select the General PO

Questions at this stage Make PR compulsory for PO ? – Recommended “YES” by Finsys, if actual users can 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

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”.
