Auto Adjustment Book Off

This option enables a supplier to be tagged as Auto Adjustment Book Off within the head office set up. The recommendation would be to use this option for suppliers who supply products by weight, eg fruit and vegetables and meat.

 

In this option, you cannot amend the unit price for each product, instead you can amend the total value of the order. This is useful when you have ordered multiple items by weight, for example you ordered 1kg of tomatoes but received 1.01kg, the same for potatoes etc. Instead of amending each individual line, you can change the total Net Amount.

 

Scenario 5a – 3kg was ordered, 3.1kg was delivered. The delivery note states the new invoice value

  • You can either amend the quantity to 3.1 which will automatically change the New Amount shown, or you can leave the quantity as 3 and amend the Net Amount.
  • Select Book Off and click Update Order
  • An estimate invoice will automatically be created at the new value

 

Scenario 5b – 3kg was ordered, 3.1kg was delivered. The invoice states the new invoice value

  • You can either amend the quantity to 3.1 which will automatically change the New Amount shown, or you can leave the quantity as 3 and amend the Net Amount.
  • Select Book Off and Convert to Invoice
  • You will need to add the correct Invoice Ref and amend the Net Amount, VAT (if required) and Gross Amount towards the bottom of the screen to the new value
  • Click Update Order
  • An invoice will automatically be created at the new value

 

Scenario 6a – 3kg was ordered, 2kg was delivered. The delivery note is for 3kg

  • Amend the Qty field to 2 and choose a Reason from the drop down list
  • Select Book Off and click Update Order

  • An estimate invoice will automatically be created for the value of the 3kg and an estimate credit note will automatically be created for the value of the 1kg not received
