Build the closeout packet

  • Official or supplier notice and affected identifiers.
  • Invoice, receipt, receiving record, and quantity received.
  • Quantity held, used, transferred, returned, or disposed.
  • Return authorization or disposal evidence.
  • Expected credit, actual credit memo, and posting date.
  • Replacement purchase, price variance, and approval.

The ServingIQ three-table recall query helps bound the operational quantities before finance tries to reconcile them.

Use a four-way match

  1. Match the notice to the received product and date window.
  2. Match held or used quantity to the operational incident record.
  3. Match return or disposal evidence to the supplier's credit terms.
  4. Match the credit memo and replacement purchase to the ledger.

Separate three variances

Quantity variance explains the gap between received, held, used, returned, and disposed units. Credit variance explains the gap between expected and actual supplier credit. Replacement variance explains the cost of maintaining service with an approved substitute.
