Regular Purchases
There is minimal manual effort when raising orders for regular items on suppliers. The requirement is automatically generated based on re-order policies and the order is drafted based on the most recent purchase terms or by looking up quotations.
Rate Contracts
Many items may be purchased against rate contracts. The most common example is the Chef’s Market List.Contracted rate catalogues are recorded in the system and may be reused indefinitely, as long as the contract is valid, to order items. Chef-specific Market List templates may be drafted & used to minimize manual inputs while placing an order.
Receiving
Receiving materials, as per an approved order, requires negligible effort. Where the supplier deviates from the order, the effort is limited to entering the quantities received. Because Web Prol’IFIC Purchase Orders are comprehensive, no calculations are required at the time of receiving. mycloud back office does all the calculation. Of course, this is not the case when stock items are received without a Purchase Order.
Inventory
It is common practice to book perishables received, directly to consumption. This correctly reflects costs and reduces human effort in tracking itemised consumption. Other items may be received into stores till requisitioned and issued. Periodic stock takes are done to reconcile stocks as per ledger with physical stocks.
