Hi Experts

 

One of our clients have a purchase scenario where they purchase material in Nos, lets say Steel Plate 2x5mm and price that material in Kg.

So at the time of inspection, they get to know the exact weight of the material. Based on the weight of the material received, invoice will be received from supplier and then payment process.

There will be a difference in PO amount and Invoice amount. How to settle that.

If anyone can run through best possible process for this scenario.

Regards

Hi Mirali,

As far as purchase quantity received and invoiced are the same, there is not really a big problem, other than quantity ordered will be different from quantity received and invoiced. If quantity received is less than quantity ordered, you can setup a Tolerance in Purchase Part to auto-close the Purchase Order inside that tolerance. If quantity received is higher, then Purchase Order will be automatically closed.

If price is also different (price in PO line and price in Invoice), then you have the option to configure the inventory part as ‘Transaction Based’ for Supplier Invoice Consideration field, so price in invoice is considered in Arrival inventory transaction when matching the Supplier Invoice with the receipt.

I hope this clarifies your question.

Regards,

Pilar
