RE: BPCS Invoice Entry

The Invoice Value does not necessarily have to match the PO Value. The
Invoice Value is compared to the Value at Standard Cost, the Accrued
Liability Account is posted at Standard Cost and the difference between
Standard and Actual is posted to the Purchase Price Variance A/C. These
Accounts are set up in INV160.

However we have identified 3 related problems with the BPCS CD version of
ACP500 and we would welcome comments from other users.

*       There is no check that the 3 way match is actually performed at all,
for Inventory Invoices posted to the designated Accrued Liability Account.
The System should force the used to fully carry out the 3 Way Match for any
amount entered into the Accrued Liability Account.

*       If a 'Value Only' Inventory Invoice is received there is no
mechanism to Cost it against the Item Code for Purchase Price Variance. What
is required is a facility to enter Values but no Quantity, on the 3 Way
Match Screen.

*       If an Inventory Invoice needs to be Voided, there is no mechanism to
reverse its associated 3 Way Match.

        Dear Fallows:

        In BPCS (ACP), at the time of Invoice Entry (ACP500) we enter
invoice amount on header screen and we enter PO reference#.

        System does not match Invoice value with PO value, is there any
possibility in the system that system should check these values and invoice
value should not exceed by PO value.
