Material Purchase Reconciliation

After tickets have been imported (or manually entered) using Scale Ticket Transactions, and the update has been run, material costs can be reconciled here. One item is displayed per code so that each item can be reconciled separately.

This screen shows all the tickets that have material costs for outside material suppliers (for plants that have a vendor code only) and that have been processed/updated to either the A/R or IC systems. The ticket update will create a new outside material purchase file with this information; this file will be cleared when updated to A/P. As the tickets to process are selected, the total material cost accumulates on top, which allows you to reconcile this amount with the vendor's invoice. Once reconciled, they can be accumulated and an invoice can be generated to the Spectrum A/P Invoice /Credit Memo Entry.

To perform the selections, choose ALL and then select the Include checkbox, or by use the selection window to perform a selection by date, ticket number range, or by entering individual ticket numbers. By selecting the transactions, the system will post the invoice number to each transaction. The system allows you to change the quantity, rate, and total freight charge; however, this screen doesn't allow the Add mode for adding new lines. Only one item code is displayed per record, allowing you to reconcile each item separately. Once you have completed the Material Purchase Reconciliation screen, click the Update button to open the Material Purchase Journal screen.
