Re: Purchasing maintenance and miscellaneous supplies on a credit

We have similar program and look forward to suggestions from the list.

We also have another wrinkle - where our users will sign on to a major
vendor and place "shopping cart" orders - at the end of the day, Purchasing
will review them (within various $ limits per user) and "approve / release"
the order on the vendor website.

We will receive the goods, in most cases, the next day and need to have an
open P.O. to receive.  Obviously we prefer NOT to rekey the order.

Subject: Purchasing maintenance and miscellaneous supplies on a credit
card


The company wants to reduce the number of purchase orders placed.  To
achieve this objective they are discussing, for the purchase of items under
$500, buying these items on a Visa card.  The process would be that an
electronic requisition is created (MAPICS requisition) and if the item is
under $500, the order will be placed with the vendor using a Visa card.
Depending the item purchased is may or may not be received.  For example
inventories maintenance parts would be received   The Visa purchases will
have to be reconciled to the requisitions that are purchased on the Visa
card. Also, the company wants to keep track of the dollar volume of vendor
purchases and to have the item/vendor file updated.

TIA
