Purchase Order
It is optional to match a Supplier's Invoice with a Purchase Order. Available Purchase Orders for this Supplier are accessible from the list attached to this field. Note: If there is a Purchase Order you need to confirm the PO otherwise the PO Commitment will always be outstanding against the job. PO's will need to be approved before they can have an invoice processed against them.
Select a Purchase Order by pressing [WBFUT:F4] in the PO No field.
This will bring up the Purchase Order Selection screen, select the desired Purchase Order from the drop down list and click 'OK' this will bring up the 'Confirm Purchase Order' screen.Anchor
Confirm Purchase Orders
Depending on the Admin Function selected the screen will display either the PO lines that have been receipted or the PO Lines that are still outstanding
- ALT D = Defaults
- ALT C = Confirm
If the whole Purchase Order has been fully received, "pressing" the Defaults button completes the Order without any other actions being necessary, other than "pressing" the Confirm button to accept this change.
It is acceptable to alter the 'This Invoice' Quantity or Value. If, for example, all the items on the Purchase Order have been received, but at a different Rate from that which was originally entered on the Order, then to the ensure the correct Invoicing line results from these actions, you must change the Value and the Quantity Received. A simple partial receipt would require the Quantity only to be altered. Each line will automatically Complete if the Full qty and value is entered in 'This invoice'. If you specify a lesser Qty you can still complete the line by ticking the Complete box on the line but you have to compete it first and then change the qty or value. If all the lines are complete the Completed box on the Header will also be ticked. This information will automatically update the Purchase Order.
If the Purchase Order is a multi-line Order, for every line "receipted" on the Order, a line is created on the Invoice.
After making any alterations to the Purchase Order (either manually or through the use of the Defaults button) it is necessary to "press" the Confirm button to save the changes and return to the Invoicing screen. An Invoice line will be created as a result.
No Invoice line will be created if the Exit button is pressed before Confirming.
It is now possible to edit the invoice lines that have been created, select another Purchase Order and/or add further lines that do not relate to Purchase Orders.
Job Code
If a selection is made from available Purchase Orders and an Invoice line is subsequently generated, this field will default to the Job Number associated with that Purchase Order line. This entry can be altered if necessary.
If creating an Invoice line manually (i.e. without selecting a Purchase Order), a Job Code can be entered manually or the <F4> Job Search is available to assist in making a selection.
A single Invoice can consist of lines created both manually and via a Purchase Order selection.
Activity
The Activity Code from the Purchase Order will be displayed in this field if the line is created from a Purchase Order. The Activity Code so displayed, can be altered at the Users discretion. If a line is being created manually, an Activity must be selected from the list. The Activity Group from the job will dictate the possible range of Activity codes.
The Activity Code holds the General Ledger Account Code which will be used for the mapping of exported transactions through to your Financial system.
Work Centre
