question 34

Essay

Below is a narrative describing the "Receive goods and services" portion (bubble 3.0) of the purchasing process described in Chapter 12.
Narrative Description
The vendor packing slip, which accompanies the purchased inventory from the vendor and identifies the shipment, triggers the receiving process. As indicated by bubble 3.1 of the figure, goods arriving at the receiving department are inspected and counted, and these data are matched against the vendor packing slip and the "PO receiving notification" (i.e., the blind copy of the PO). Nonconforming goods are denoted by the reject stub out of process 3.1. Notation of rejected goods is added to the vendor service record in the vendor master data. After the count and condition of the goods has been obtained, process 3.1 completes the receiving report by noting the quantity received. Once annotated with the quantity received, the PO receiving notification becomes a receiving report, which is the document used to record merchandise receipts.
Process 3.2 compares the receiving report data to the information stored in the PO master data-a process that often is automatically completed by the information system. Bubble 3.2 also reflects the following activities:
*Data about vendor compliance wrth the arder terms are added to the vendor servce record an the vendor master data.
