23. Stage 3-If the quote in the system is deemed old and needs to be
refreshed based on an established cycle of when quote is still
valid.
Stage 4-When part has somehow been changed, possibly rolled
revision and need to validate cost against revised drawing.
Buyer creates and send off to supplier for completion and once
the supplier completes the quote, it is provided back to the
buyer for input in to the system (Supplier Quotation, 2017).
Purchasing Requisition Process
Before a purchase order gets placed, the demand gets loaded
into our ERP system that is triggered from a sales order. Once
the PR has been generated the buyer will get notified by an alert
via email and the through our ERP system in their business
workplace. Once the buyer receives their PR, they will need to
prepare the request for quotation from their suppliers.
· Material control specialist generates a purchase request (PR)
from a sales order
· Buyer receives the purchase request (PR) in their business
workplace
· Buyer sends the supplier(s) request for quotation (RFQ)
· Buyer accepts the quotation and places the purchase order
(PO) (Johnson, & Flynn, 2014).
Purchase Order
A purchase order is a commercial document that specifies the
types, quantities, and prices for products and services. It is used
to control the purchasing of products and services from outside
suppliers/vendors and confirms the placed order. This document
is the first official offer issued initiating a transaction, once the
purchase requisition has been approved by the businesses
purchasing department.
It is initiated and created by the buyer or purchasing department
and is then sent and received by the seller, or vendor (Chron,
24. 2018).
Invoice
A purchase order is used when a buyer purchases inventory or
supplies out right or on account. In invoice allows for
immediate instant visibility of incoming stock and when
delivery is due. A well-managed purchase order system should
immediately inform on what has been ordered, shipped and
received. “Creating POs in the system will allow tacking and
prevent ordering more of an item than needed. This allows
matching delivered goods against what was ordered and
prevents wrong item or over delivery. Suppliers use PO’s in
fulfilling orders and also in payment processing. Online
invoicing software” (Johnson, & Flynn, 2014) quickly sends
purchase orders and communicates through templates with
vendors online. Invoices track earnings, shipping, receiving,
and expenses. They give an understanding of inventory
management and calculate profits through the sale of products.
Properly used, invoices document business transactions, and
ensure a strong understanding of orders completed, shipped,
received, and billed out.
Bill of Lading
A bill of lading includes shipping information such as, type of
goods within the shipment. It states the number of units
shipped, the destination address for the load and a billing
address. It includes the carriers name and will identify any type
of hazardous material and specific shipping instructions such as
temperature requirements, etc. The BOL is a transport document
and is signed at points throughout the delivery process. The
BOL is signed by the seller or representative of the shipper.
Upon delivering the BOL will be signed by the receiver or
representative of the consignee. The BOL protects the seller, the
shipper, carrier, and the recipient and confirms the shipment is
or was successfully delivered. It can also note if there was an
issue with the shipment received such as damage in transit,
25. missing product, arrive past deadline, etc. and where the
problem occurred. The BOL can serve as proof for a claim filed
for compensation related to the goods (Johnson, & Flynn, 2014).
Purchase Order Acknowledgment
Once a purchase order has been processed through a specific
supplier, an order
acknowledgment is required from the supplier acknowledging
our order and is required
to sign and date the document and send back if they agree with
the order. This can be sent
through email, fax, or EDI. It is the buyer’s responsibility that
they follow up with the
supplier if they don’t receive the order acknowledgement within
5 business days. (Sap
Purchase Order Acknowledgement", 2011-2018).
Delivery Note
The purpose of a Delivery Note is to acknowledge the receipt of
a product by the buyer. A delivery note will accompany a
shipment and be countersigned by the receiver upon receipt.
Exchanging the product for a signature is usually the
responsibility of the transportation company as the signature is
acknowledgment buy the receiver that they have physically
received the product from the transportation company, releasing
them of responsibility for the product. A Delivery Note's
signature acknowledges the receipt of the product but may not
always acknowledge quantity nor quality of the product.
Different receiving procedure may not allow for an extensive
count or quality check upon receipt, allowing this to be done
after receipt but within a certain time period. Delivery Notes are
different from Bills of Ladings in whereas Delivery Notes can
26. be broken up, having more than one Delivery Note under one
Bill of Lading if the original shipment is going to more than one
receiver ("Logistics Glossary", N.D.).
A Consignment Note is created when the product or shipment is
being transferred from the shipper to the carrier, usually when
being loaded for transportation. It is acknowledgment of
transfer responsibility for the shipment therefor cannot be
created and signed until physical transfer of the shipment is
accomplished. It created by the seller and then sent and received
by the transportation company ("Logistics Glossary", N.D.).
Consignment Note
A Consignment Note is a document signed by the carrier
acknowledging receipt of a product for transportation. It is
proof of receipt by the carrier of the product for delivery. This
document is directly tied to the carrier's responsibility of a
shipment, signed by the carrier when loading a shipment,
acknowledging receipt and condition of the shipment then
countersigned by the receiver taking possession of the shipment,
noting obvious damages or shortages upon receipt of the
shipment ("Base Logistics", 2014).

27. and the customer has taken ownership of the material. It is
created upon physical receipt and ownership of the material by
the customer. It is created customers and customer receiving
and logistics and then a receipt is sent to the supplier
("Upcounsil", 2018).
Scorecard
This document is a strategic planning and management system
which takes into account non-financial aspects of corporate
performance, such as customer satisfaction and processes to
create a complete picture of how the company is likely to
perform in the future. It is created after all purchases have taken
place within a certain period of time by management is entered
into an electronic system for all upper management to review
("Balanced Scorecard Institute", 2017).

supplier quote the part to see if they will be selected to have the
part sourced to them to build. It is a formal statement stating
that the supplier has legally consented to supply goods and

created during a few different circumstances/stages.It can be
created during 4 different stages.
Stage 1-Upon design release to establish cost or support a target
cost model
Stage 2-When demand is present in the system and there is no
supplier identified

this document is to describe the process for creating purchase
requisitions based on the planned orders for standard external
procurement that are generated by the stock requirements list.
The demand is driven by the sales order.This is the step before
purchasing begins. The process begins with system generated
planned orders from sales orders demand and ends with
purchasing requistions to purchasing electronically.Material

commercial document that indicates types, quantities, and
agreed prices for products and services. It is used to control the

InvoiceInvoice is a document issued by a seller to a buyer
indicating items sold, date of shipment, delivery, prices, and
payment terms. The invoice is also specified with the period of
time after which the buyer has to make payment to the seller for
the goods and services they have purchased (Johnson, & Flynn,
2014).This document is usually created after a quotation has
been sent and when the sales process is moving closer to a
confirmed deal. The invoice will include the seller’s bank
details so that the buyer can arrange payments as
required.Supply ManagementThe consignee or Buyer receives a
copy of the invoice. The carrier retains the original for records
and billing purposes. Purchase Order Bill of Lading“A Bill of
Lading is a document issued by a consignor or shipper,” for
example, an order fulfillment center and signed by a carrier at
the time of pickup, “ acknowledging that specified products
have been received on board as cargo for delivery to a named
consignee, or destination. It serves as a contract between the
shipper or owners of the goods and the carrier for a number”
(Investopedia, 2018). For example, it is evidence of a valid
30. contract of carriage, and may incorporate the complete terms of
the contract between the shipper such as a startup e-commerce
order fulfillment service and the carrier which may include
payment terms, rates, description of product classification, as
well as other duties and obligations (Johnson, & Flynn, 2014).
Next, a receipt is signed by the carrier confirming whether
goods matching the contract description have been received in
good condition. The information could include pallet or piece
count, weight, product description and classification. Also, once
signed by the consignee, it is a receipt of goods received
providing final confirmation of the quantity and condition of the
product received. A signature by the consignee is
acknowledgement the goods are received as described on the
BOL unless discrepancies are otherwise noted at the time the
BOL is signed. Finally, the signed BOL may also often serve as
a Proof of Delivery (POD) document as well as backup for the
Freight Invoice (Alford, 2017).A “bill of lading is a legal
document between a shipper and a carrier” (Investopedia, 2018).
This document is created and prepared and sign by both the
shipper’s and carrier’s agents. This document is prepared at the
time of or just before shipping of product.Transportation
