Where it usually breaks
And how to keep it from happening.
- A partial arrival must not make the full purchase order billable.
- Rejected quantity must not enter available stock.
- A repeated bill match must not consume the same receipt quantity.
Follow supplier commitment, actual arrival, independent acceptance and bill matching.
Purchasing Manager links a requisition to the product and warehouse need, then prepares the supplier order in the correct entity and currency.
An independent authorized reviewer checks the current supplier order total and amendment history before approving the Submitted order.
Warehouse Operator records the actual arrival against the supplier order. The arrived quantity and evidence remain intact while its disposition is decided.
An independent Warehouse Manager reviews each receipt tranche. Accepted quantity posts to owned stock; rejected and pending quantities remain separate.
Accountant matches supplier charges to accepted receipt scope. A later bill cannot reuse a quantity already matched.
