Pat,
if the POD number is generated by your company why does the vendor need to
quote it back to you?
The POD numbers I thought are generated by the freighter or by your system
generating an accounting receiver (which then is used in A/P and be used to
match the invoices using a 1 invoice to 1 delivery docket.)
It should not be generated by the vendor as this is just a proof that they
have dispatched the goods and not that the goods have been received.
If your A/P department wants to confirm the goods have been received then
require the vendor to quote the delivery docket # on all invoice lines. and
only pay based on receipt into your system of that delivery docket..
- The vendor should send the delivery docket first specifying the "ship to"
by EDI using ANSI I think 856) quoting delivery dockets
- the receiver is created quoting the delivery docket #s
- The invoice should then be sent quoting the delivery docket #s.
- payment should occur based on receipt into store.
The next step on is to go ERS where you would take the delivery docket +
physical goods receipt + current quote file to generate the invoice and send
it to the vendor.
