Creating Purchase Orders


1.1 ABOUT PURCHASE ORDERS

Purchase orders are used to create, maintain, print, and inquire about orders in the company.

You can choose between several purchase order types. The list below describes the purchase order types:

Purchase order type

Description

Journal Use as a draft; it has no effect on stock quantities and does not generate item transactions. These lines are not included in master scheduling.

Quotation Use if the vendor has not committed an order. Quotation generates an issue lot with the type Quotation in the inventory and optionally in master scheduling.

Subscription Use for repeated purchases of the same goods or services. When a packing slip is updated, Axapta generates a receipt lot. When the invoice is updated for the receipt lot, a new packing slip or invoice entry can be updated for the same purchase line. Quantity received, invoiced, and remaining is updated.

Purchase order

Use when the vendor confirms an order.

Returned item

Use when returning goods to the vendor. Return item number given by the vendor must to be entered.

Blanket order Use if there is a contract with the vendor and you want to order from the contract. Create a release order to release, order, and invoice items until the contract is fulfilled. Blanket orders have no effect on stock quantities, do not generate item transactions, and are not included in master scheduling (unlike release orders that do).

1.3 WORKING WITH BLANKET ORDERS

Use purchase blanket orders if you have a contract with a vendor and you want to order from the contract. Blanket orders are often used when you buy large quantities and have obtained special discounts with a vendor. Based on the blanket order, you can create purchase orders (release orders) and invoice items as needed until the contract is fulfilled.

You create a blanket order in the same way as a normal purchase order but assign it the type Blanket order. Discounts (trade agreements) must be calculated before you create release orders. Blanket orders have no effect on stock quantities, do not generate item transactions, and they are not included in master scheduling (unlike release orders).

On the basis of the blanket order, create release orders as needed. A release order contains information about quantity and delivery date and can be updated as a normal purchase order. Release orders have the order type Purchase order. Note that if you modify or delete release orders, the quantity on the blanket order will not be adjusted accordingly.

Working with blanket orders includes the following processes:

• Create a purchase blanket order (See 'Create a purchase blanket order' on page 1-5)

• Create a purchase release order (See 'Create a purchase release order' on page 1-6)

• View attached purchase orders (See 'View attached purchase orders' on page 1- 7)

Backorders

Backorders

2.1 ABOUT BACKORDERS

Backorders are orders that are not yet delivered from a vendor (purchase orders) or to a customer (sales orders).

It is important to follow up on backorders. For example, if goods are delayed from vendors, you might have to change the date of delivery to customers and inform the customers about the delay. You can get an overview of backorders by items, customers, and vendors.

By item

It is useful to view backorders per item to follow up on the expected future flow of transactions on a specific item, for example, to check:

• If deliveries of goods from vendors are still missing.

• The number of sales orders placed on an item.

• If more items should be ordered to be able to deliver all sales orders in due time.

Furthermore, the overview also helps you answer requests from customers regarding time of delivery and you can prioritize the sales backorders and eventually split the items on-hand between the orders.

By customer

The overview of backorders by customer is useful to view the status of the customer's remaining orders, and when answering questions concerning for example delivery time and possible delays from customers who are waiting for items to be delivered.

By vendor

The overview of backorders by vendor is useful to follow up on missing deliveries and viewing expected dates of deliveries. The overview is also useful for prioritization when goods arrive from vendors and the sales orders have to be picked for delivery.

Invoice Register

Invoice Register

4.1 ABOUT INVOICE REGISTER

The purpose of the Invoice register journal is to pre-register invoices when they arrive to the company. In this journal, an employee registers the vendor account, the invoice number, the amount, and the person who is going to approve the invoice. The same employee validates and posts the journal to the accounts specified in the posting profile. Usually the accounts are "bridging" accounts or "pending" accounts where the amounts await the manual approval by the person specified in the journal line.

Invoice Approval Journal

Invoice Approval Journal

5.1 ABOUT INVOICE APPROVAL JOURNAL

The lines posted in the invoice register are transferred to the invoice pool and the physical invoices are given to the person who must approve them. The person approves - with a signature or a stamp - and returns the invoices to the accounting department. When they return, the accountants register the approvals in the Invoice Approval journal and post them. After that, the invoice is ready to be paid, and the amounts are posted to the real cost accounts.

After posting the lines of the Invoice register, you can see the postings in the Invoice pool. The Invoice pool form is located in the Accounts payable in Inquiries

The Invoice pool displays the relevant information on the invoices awaiting approval. It is also possible to run a report with a list of invoices awaiting approval. Select Reports, Status, and Invoices not approved. In the query window specify per vendor account, per employee or per due date. If you make the report per employee, give the report to the relevant persons, thereby reminding them to approve the invoices.

Intercompany

11.1 ABOUT THE INTERCOMPANY SOLUTION

Many companies have several subsidiaries, plants, or warehouses, which often means that purchases of items to be used in production or shipped to customers are done through vendors within the same company or distribution network. The intercompany feature handles the internal trade in companies, which have more than one subsidiary or warehouse in more than one location. Sales and purchase orders are transferred automatically between the intercompany trade partners using the document transfer methods from the Commerce Gateway feature.

Prerequisites

The intercompany solution requires that all companies are located in the same physical database on the same physical server. Domain license is required if control across companies is necessary. Furthermore, the Commerce Gateway feature must be installed.

Setup

The intercompany solution uses part of the Commerce Gateway functionality. This means that an intercopany organization must be set up and to be able to exchange sales and purchase order documents between the internal trade partners, common codes for internal customers, vendors, items, units, and currencies must be agreed and set up in all intercompany trade partners of the organization. In cases where codes are not standardized within the intercompany organization, external codes (See 'External codes' on page 13-2) must be defined.

Sales and purchase orders

When an intercompany customer creates a purchase order, a sales order is automatically created in the intercompany vendor company. However, the intercompany vendor can also create a sales order manually, which then generates a purchase order in the intercompany customer's company. The intercopany trade partners can always follow the status of intercompany orders in the other company.

11-2


11.2 SET UP AN INTERCOMPANY ORGANIZATION

1. From the Basic menu, select Setup, Gateway, Organizations.

2. Create a commerce gateway organization, which points to your intercompany trade partner.

4. Click the General tab and select which company to include in the intercompany organization.

5. Click the References button to specify which intercompany trade partners to include in the intercompany organization and whether they are customers or vendors.

6. In the Type field, specify the type of trade partner (customer or vendor) and in the Reference ID field, select the ID of the type referred to. The Active check box indicates that this reference can be used.

7. Return to the Intercompany organization form and click the Possible actions button to specify the actions (See 'Actions' on page 13-6) that the intercompany trade partner is allowed to perform.

8. In the Action field, specify Purchase order or Sales order as action depending on the role of the organization (Sales order - Invoice is not relevant in connection with the Intercompany solution).

9. Click the Setup button to define the document setup, that is, to specify how the information in either a purchase order or a sales order is to be transferred to/from the trade partner. The following information needs to be set up in the Document setup form in relation to the intercompany solution:

If Commerce Gateway is used, it is recommended to use Bar code, or External code. Common to these selections are that they are unique numbers and can be used by all intercompany trade partners.

Handling units


The setup depends on the setup of item numbers. If Master item or Bar code is used for item numbers, select Our because these numbers are unique and can be used by all intercompany trade partners. If External code is used for item number, use External code for units as well.

13.1 EXTERNAL CODES

The External code form lists external identifiers of values in Gateway documents. Gateway documents are documents you exchange electronically with your trade partners. For example, sales and purchase orders, or invoices.

The values in the Gateway documents are, for example, account number, terms of delivery, item numbers, just as in traditional orders, invoices etc.

Try www.xcbl.org for information about the XML Common Business Library.

To exchange documents via the Gateway, the setup of the type of information transferred to/from your trade partner must be defined in a document setup for each type of document you exchange electronically with the trade partner. For example, how is item number specified on a sales order; is it Axapta's item number, the external item number (the customer's item number), or an external code from this External codes table that identifies the item.

The values in the Gateway documents can come from the standard Axapta tables, or from the external code table. External codes are created when the values from the standard Axapta tables cannot be used. For example, if the trade partner requests other identifiers for countries than the ones from the Country table. You create and maintain external identifiers in this table of external codes (other identifiers).

To create external code types, you must specify a code type, a description for the code type, and the value. You can create several external codes for the same item, company account, unit, currency, etc. For example, if there are several standards for the same country code, you can create the standards, you use, and enter the values according to the standards. The value of a code will be transferred to the documents.
