As Production Administration will be raising the invoice for the PO, proposal is that they check / book in the received goods
** That needs finalising, so discuss with DC **
Booking in process
If partial delivery - use Part Book In
If a partial delivery - there needs to be an assessment
Are the remaining items going to be produced / delivered by Selman
- If yes, then await the remainder of delivery and book in upon receipt
- if no (and the short qty is small amount) - amend the PO to
reduce the Qty ordered
When the Quantity Outstanding is zero for all lines on the PO, the button Create Invoice from PO becomes enabled
Click Create Invoice from PO to create an unsaved invoice
The following data needs to be manually populated
# |
Details |
1 |
Client Company and Contact - the original client |
2 |
Date |
3 |
Customer PO and reference |
4 |
Unit Price - this is the unit price that was quoted to the client. It should be more than the unit cost Selmans quoted for the job |
Once the above fields have been populated use Complete
Invoice
This sets the invoice status to sent
The invoice will be downloaded overnight into the accounts package and
emailed to the client for settlement
PO Accounting
Selmans present their sales invoice
Matches Strokeone PO
existing flow
Despatch
This is distinct from the PO object
Fulfilment could be created once PO marked as sent - with deliver amounts allocated vs expected in on PO
Despatch charges therefore on separate invoice - ?? is this an issue
