3 Purchase Order

Purchase Order (PO) is the regular buying process of a retailer. The retailer issues a PO when buying the merchandise from a supplier. When the merchandise is received, this merchandise is matched against the related PO in order to verify that the receiving merchandise has the items that the retailer has bought to the supplier.

This chapter covers the following sections:

Business Flow

The business flow for PO receiving is as follows:

  1. Enter the Nota Fiscal (NF) in the Retail Fiscal Management (ORFM) system.

  2. When the shipment arrives at the warehouse or the store, create a schedule and enter the NFs received.


    Note:

    • You can link more than one NF to a schedule.
    • The schedule can be created before or after creating an NF.

    • An NF can be created without a schedule, but they have to be linked before submitting for receiving.


  3. After NF entry, validate the NFs. In the validation process, the ORFM application checks for data integrity. Match the NF with the requisition documents in the Retail Merchandising System (RMS). This process is called as the Fiscal Receiving.

    If the NF and the PO does not match, the NF is in discrepancy. You can identify the following discrepancies with the ORFM application:

    • Unit Cost Discrepancy for each item in the NF

    • Quantity Discrepancy for each item in the NF

    • Tax Discrepancy happens between system (tax details from Tax Engine) and NF.

  4. After validation, send the schedule to the warehouse management system and store inventory management system. After physical receiving, both the systems publish the receipt updates to ORFM. This completes the NF processing.

  5. Send the transaction data in RMS and ORFM to a financial application. For fiscal reporting purposes, send the NF data in ORFM to the fiscal reporting system like SPED.

NF Processing - PO Receiving

The Receiving/Issuing module of ORFM enables you to create the required NF. This module enables you to validate the NF, match the NF with the PO, resolve discrepancy, and approve the NF with correction documents.

To create the Nota Fiscal for PO Receiving, perform the following steps:

Navigate: From the RMS Start Menu, select Fiscal Management, then Login of Location. The Location Login window is displayed.

  1. In the Location Login window, select the store or warehouse for receiving/issuing the fiscal document. Click the Location LOV to obtain the list of stores or warehouses. Select the location, and click OK.

Discrepancy Resolution

The NF processing for PO Receiving described in the section — NF Processing - PO Receiving works when there is no discrepancy. When there is a difference between the NF cost and PO Cost or NF quantity and PO Quantity, or NF tax and tax details from Tax Engine, the NF is said to be discrepant or in the In Discrepancy status.


Note:

The discrepancy resolution and matching process does not address the identification of discount discrepancy and landed cost component discrepancy. The Nota Fiscal values for the landed cost component has to be apportioned to individual items.

The two approaches that are supported in ORFM for the resolution of discrepancies are as follows:

  • Centralized Discrepancy Resolution – In the centralized discrepancy resolution process, the quantity discrepancies identified during the discrepancy identification has to be resolved before submitting the NF for receiving. The quantity discrepancy can be resolved at the receiving location or at the centralized location. However, the cost and tax discrepancy can be resolved at the central location after the physical receipt of the merchandise. The centralized location may refer to company headquarter or the regional office.

    The status of NF or schedule in centralized receiving flow is as follows:

    Table 3-15 Status of the NF for Centralized Discrepancy Resolution

    The NF status will not change to Approved unless all the discrepancies are resolved.

    In addition, the Discrepancy Resolution item on the Options menu in the Fiscal Documents window is enabled till all the discrepancies are resolved. The check box in the Discrepancy section of the Header Details section is selected for the unresolved discrepancy.

  • De-centralized Discrepancy Resolution – In the de-centralized discrepancy resolution approach, all the discrepancies are resolved at the location where the merchandise is to be received. The receiving location may be a warehouse or store.

    In this approach, the NF status is set to In Discrepancy if any discrepancy exists after validation.

    You cannot submit the NF for receiving until all the discrepancies are resolved, and hence physical receiving before discrepancy resolution is not possible. Only after all the discrepancies are resolved, will the NF status change to Validated, and you can submit the NF for receiving.

User Interface Indicators for Discrepancy

The Fiscal Docs Find displays the status of NF as In Discrepancy as shown below:

Figure 3-18 Fiscal Docs Find Window

  11. A correction document is generated, depending on what you have selected while resolving the quantity.

Return NF and Merchandise without NF Report Generation

Return NF and Merchandise without NF report can be generated at every NF level in the schedule. These reports are generated only if there is any return NF quantity or merchandise without NF quantity for any item on the NF.

The Return NF is sent to the supplier for the extra or damaged quantities. The cost and the tax details for the quantity of merchandise to be returned to the supplier are calculated.

To generate merchandise without NF, do the following:

  1. In the Fiscal Documents window, from the Options menu, select Print Correction Docs. The Correction Documents List window opens.

    Figure 3-25 Correction Documents List Window

    correction documents list

    The Correction Documents grid section lists all the correction document types that can be generated for the NF. The list may include the following, and depends on the corrective action taken:

    • Return NF – To return the stock to the supplier that was either received in excess or was damaged and hence rejected by warehouse management system or store inventory management system, a Return Nf is generated.

      After excess or damaged receiving, if system generates Return NF report, system also auto generates Return NF in Exit mode with the reference number of main NF.

    • Merchandise without NF – If any item is received without mention on the NF, it is listed in the merchandise without NF report. This is an internal report that need not be sent to the supplier. Any such inventory is handled outside the system. The inventory featuring in this report is not accounted as on-hand inventory.

    • Discrepancy Report – This document is generated when there are discrepancies. You can send the discrepancy report to correct the cost, quantity and tax discrepancies.

    • Complementary NF Request – This document is generated when the supplier has incorrectly charged lower taxes than system calculated taxes. Print this document and send it to the supplier requesting the complementary NF with corrected taxes.

  2. To print the document, select the check box for merchandise without NF.

  3. Click Print. The merchandise without NF is printed.

De-centralized Discrepancy Resolution Process

In the de-centralized discrepancy resolution approach, all the discrepancies are resolved at the location where the merchandise is to be received. The receiving location may be a warehouse or store.

The cost and tax discrepancy resolution processes are described below.

Complementary NF

In the following scenarios, the supplier may issue an additional (complementary) NF in addition to the regular NF:

  • Triangulation Purchase (additional NF from Delivery Supplier)

  • Non-merchandise cost charged by a different supplier that is, partner (non-merchandise NF)

  • NF for Cost Correction

  • NF for Tax Correction

The complementary NF may impact the total amount payable and also the landed cost (and hence the WAC) of the item.

The utilization attributes is set up to one of the below values to differentiate the type of Complementary NF:

  • Triangulation

  • Non-Merchandise cost

  • Cost/Tax Correction

For more information on the set up, see Fiscal Utilization Attributes Window.

Complementary NF for Triangulation

While creating the purchase order, the user can mention a supplier (referred to as the main supplier) to whom the payment is made and another supplier (a distributor or facilitator) who actually delivers the stock on behalf of the main supplier (referred to as the delivery supplier). This mechanism is referred to as the triangulation purchase.

The main supplier and the delivery supplier may be located in different states. In such cases, the state level taxes like ICMS and ICMS-ST are calculated based on the location of the delivery supplier.

In triangulation purchases, the retailer receives two NFs for the same inventory. One from the main supplier, which primarily serves as an invoice for making the payment and another from the delivery supplier, which serves as a bill of lading document. This document is referred to as the complementary NF for triangulation. Since ICMS and ICMS-ST depend on the delivery supplier's location, they appear on the delivery supplier's NF.

Complementary NF Processing for Triangulation

To create a complementary NF for triangulation, do the following:


Note:

The retailer has to create a purchase order, and label it as triangulation.

Navigate: From the RMS Start Menu, select Fiscal Management, then select Contents Of Fiscal Management.

  1. In Contents Of Fiscal Management, select Login of Location. The Location Login window appears.

  2. In the Location Login window, select the store or warehouse of the main supplier. Click the Location LOV to obtain the list of stores or warehouses. Select the location and click OK.

  3. In Contents Of Fiscal Management, click Receiving/Issue. In Contents Of Receiving/Issue, click Edit. The Receiving/Issue Schedule window appears.

  4. In the Receiving/Issue Schedule window, click Add. A new NF is created in the Entry mode.

  5. Click Fiscal in the Receiving/Issue Schedule window. The Fiscal Docs Find window appears.

  6. Click Add in the Fiscal Docs Find window. The Fiscal Documents window appears. Enter the Utilization code for triangulation.

  7. Enter the other values in the Fiscal Documents window. The NF is created in the Worksheet status.

  8. Click OK. You are returned to the Fiscal Docs Find window. The Fiscal Docs Find window displays the NF that is created in the worksheet status.

  9. Create another NF using the same process as given above. This is the complementary NF, and it has to be in the same schedule as the main NF. It should have the same item details as the main NF.

  10. After creating another NF, return to the Fiscal Docs Find window, and select the first NF created for the main supplier.

  11. Click Complement on the Fiscal Document window. The Complement Fiscal Doc window appears.

    Figure 3-34 Complement Fiscal Doc Window

    complement_fiscal
  12. In the Complement No column, select the complementary NF. Click Add to link this NF with the main NF.

  13. Click OK to return to the main NF. From the Options menu, select Validate. The status of NF changes to Validated, if there is no discrepancy between the two NFs. You are returned to the Receiving/Issue Schedule window.


    Note:

    The data integrity validation has to display an error if either of the NF is not entered in the application.

  14. In the Receiving/Issue Schedule window, select the NF and submit it for receiving. From the Options menu, select Sub. for Recv.

Complementary NF for Non-Merchandise Cost

Complementary NF for non-merchandise cost is generated to account for the freight charges incurred during transportation of merchandise. The non-merchandise cost refers to Freight Cost, Insurance Cost, and Other Expenses. Non-merchandise cost is charged by a different supplier (or partner). In such cases, the supplier has to issue an additional NF or complementary NF in addition to the regular NF.

In Complementary NF for non-merchandise cost, NFs can have multiple main NFs or none. Once the main NFs are associated to the Complementary NF for non-merchandise cost NF, the cost components are apportioned to the items that are present in the main NF.

Complementary NF Processing for Non-Merchandise Cost

To do the NF Processing for non-merchandise cost, do the following:

Navigate: From the RMS Start Menu, select Fiscal Management, then select Login of Location. The Location Login window is displayed.

    The Totals in the Header Details section is also enabled.

  10. Click Complement to associate this NF with the main NF.

  11. In the Fiscal Documents window, from the Options menu, click Validate.

    During the validation process, the total cost is validated. After the validation, status automatically changes to Approved.

Complementary NF for Cost/Tax Correction

Complementary NF for Cost/Tax is generated by the Supplier when there is additional costs to be paid by the Retailer because of some discrepancies in the original NF generated for the Purchase Order.

There can be multiple complementary NFs for cost and tax correction that correspond to one main NF. But one complementary NF cannot correspond to more than one main NF. In case of cost and tax discrepancy in one main NF, the supplier may send one complementary NF for cost correction and one complementary NF for each tax code correction; or the Supplier may send single complementary NF for the correction of cost and all the taxes.

The complementary NF for cost and tax will result in updating the cost in RMS.

Complementary NF Processing for Cost/Tax Correction

Deal Income Posting

ORFM takes care of posting all finance related documents (NFs) for merchandise inventory/goods movement and finance invoicing. For Deal Income, though there is no inventory/goods movement, financial documents are generated to post the deal income to finance. You need to define the default utilization in ORFM system options for deal NF. The Deal NF Utilization should be of requisition type PO.

Deal NFs are auto-generated and are not editable through ORFM User Interface. You can view the NF and print it if needed.

Deal Types

RMS supports the following three types of deals:

  • Off-Invoice

  • Fixed (Merchandise and Non-merchandise)

  • Complex

RMS generates the following two types of fixed deal:

  • Fixed deal with Merchandise and location information associated

  • Fixed deal non-merchandise with no location and merchandise information associated

RMS deal batches generate the deal income on fixed deals in RMS staging tables, based on the income calculation and invoicing frequency.

For non-merchandise fixed deals, ORFM will always generate NF details at the Set Of Books (SOB) level.

A Complex Deal is created and approved in RMS with a Deal Income calculation frequency and an invoicing frequency. Once the Deal Income calculation frequency is met, RMS calculates the Deal Income through deal batches and stores them in Deal Income related tables. Once the invoicing frequency period for the deal is reached, RMS deal batches make this information available in the RMS staging tables to be processed by ORFM.

For a deal income processing that happens in RMS, a deal NF (approved status) is generated in ORFM after running the 'fmdealinc' batch.
