This article will explain that the User will have the ability of completing a Vendor Receiving and a Vendor Invoice together


Prerequisite


For users to have this functionality of doing both the Vendor Receiving and Vendor Invoicing together, the user will need to have enabled the User Permissions - Vendor invoicing view and create/modify 





How to process a Part Receiving / Part Invoice together


Once you have received the items from the Vendor, a Part Receiving will need to be processed first:


1.  From the Blackpurl Header - Click User-added image > 


             
    

2.  The Select a Vendor window, will allow you to search for your Vendor


As you type your search keyword, the system will start listing the search results that match

In our example we are looking for the Vendor: Smith and Co so we start to type Smith as the keyword and the system will list any Vendor that matches your keyword > click on the Vendor to select




3.  After selecting your Vendor, the system will:
  • indicate if there are any IN PROGRESS Vendor Receivings for the same Vendor and the user can select to  one of these VR or the user can choose


  • If there are no IN PROGRESS Vendor Receivings for this Vendor, Blackpurl will automatically open a Vendor Receiving screen with the relevant Vendor's information 

Then Blackpurl will 

  • open a Vendor Receiving (VR) window


  • add the Vendor details



If the user wishes to process the Vendor Receiving / Vendor Invoice at the same time and have the correct User Permission, they will need to enable the toggle - Receiving from an Invoice



Once the toggle is enabled, the User will be asked to enter in a Vendor Invoice number (instead of a Packing Slip number)





  • it will also list any Vendor Orders that have not been fully satisfied and by default it will not have any Vendor Orders selected 

    But if you wish to change this and have your Blackpurl to have the system auto-select ALL Vendor Orders, there is a System Setting that will allow this control.  Please review our article - System Settings > Settings and Controls


You can either use the search function to select specific Vendor Orders or just check the relevant checkbox against the Vendor Orders you are going to receive against     





4.  For each line item you are receipting, check the relevant checkbox > then click on User-added image

*** If the list is very long, use the Find a Part search feature


              

              

The selected items then move to top of the Received section and it would be at this point that you would:

  • change the quantity received (if it differs from the amount you actually ordered) 


  • modify the cost - remember you are doing the Vendor Receiving and Vendor Invoicing together so you can change the cost (if required) in the Vendor Receiving or Vendor Invoice stage


  • add in any discount - remember you are doing the Vendor Receiving and Vendor Invoicing together so you can change the discount (if required) in the Vendor Receiving or Vendor Invoice stage 



You may get a Cost variance warning notification as below and this document will explain what this is all about - Part Cost Control Feature



If you do not get a Cost variance warning notification, just continue with the Vendor Receiving



The user will also get the option of changing the Sales Price / Retail / MSRP / Locations from the Vendor Receiving screen

Click into the relevant part line item and then



This will open up the Update Part window to make your changes - don't forget to click on



5.  To finalize the Receiving > Click on 


             


Before finalizing you may want to review the total section on the Vendor Receiving as it may be a guide to work out if you have missed something out of the Vendor Receiving




6.  Once you have clicked on Blackpurl will automatically generate a Vendor Invoice





7.  It will list any unmatched packing slips - select the packing slip that you are matching this Vendor Invoice


to by checking the relevant checkbox 




8.  Once a packing slip is selected, all items on that packing slip will list in Invoicing section


This is now the time when any variances are corrected / add in any discounts etc




Click on the item (in the ITEM/DISC column) to open up the line item - make the change in the relevant section ie Cost


Repeat this step for all line items that have variances

Please remember - the amount of the Blackpurl Vendor Invoice must equal the amount of the hard copy of the Vendor Invoice that you are processing so check your totals before you finalize the invoice


In this regard, the user may need to add a freight fee or a rounding fee to the Other Charges section of the Invoice.

The fee will need to be already created and available to use in your Blackpurl

For further information on how to create a fee, review our article - How to Create a New Fee
Once the fee is available in Blackpurl, to add it to the Vendor Invoice, scroll to theUser-added imagesection and click on User-added image
  • This will take you to the Search to add section for you to search for and select the relevant fee


  • Once the user has added the relevant fee to the Other Charges section, the user will need to change the information and Cost to suit 


  • Blackpurl does give the user the ability to do both a positive and negative amount



You may wish to include the Other Charges as part of the cost of the parts that you are receiving - Landed Cost Adjustment 


The option - Include other charges as part of the inventory costs? - can be enabled at this time


For further information, please review our article - Landed Cost Adjustment (LCA)
