Story

Suppose that you are Regina Wiley, a purchasing manager in the SweetLife Fruits & Jams company. On January 30, 2024, you are purchasing the following fruits from the Glory Fruit Case vendor: 100 pounds of apples, 200 pounds of oranges, and 50 pounds of lemons. The purchased fruits are to be delivered to the main office's warehouse. As the purchasing manager, you need to enter and process a purchase order, process a purchase receipt, and create a bill that should be paid to the vendor for the received fruits.

Configuration Overview

In the U100 dataset, for the purposes of this activity, the following tasks have been performed:

• On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the following features have been enabled:
  • Inventory and Order Management, which provides the standard functionality of inventory and order management
  • Inventory, which gives you the ability to maintain stock items by using forms related to the inventory functionality and to create and process sales and purchase documents that include stock items
• On the Vendors (AP303000) form, the GLORYFRUIT (Glory Fruit Case) vendor has been configured.
• On the Stock Items (IN202500) form, the APPLES, LEMONS, and ORANGES stock items have been created.

Process Overview

In the process of purchasing stock items, you create a purchase order on the Purchase Orders (PO301000) form and add the purchased items to it. When the items have been received, on the Purchase Receipts (PO302000) form, you create a purchase receipt for the ordered items. On release of the purchase receipt, the system automatically generates an inventory receipt to reflect the receipt of the items in inventory. Then on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form, you create an accounts payable bill to the vendor.

System Preparation

Before you start creating and processing a purchase order to completion, you should do the following:

1. Launch the MYOB Acumatica website with the U100 dataset preloaded and sign in to the system as purchasing manager Regina Wiley by using the wiley username and the 123 password.
2. In the info area, in the upper-right corner of the top pane of the MYOB Acumatica screen, make sure that the business date in your system is set to 1/30/2024. If a different date is displayed, click the Business Date menu button, and select 1/30/2024 from the calendar. For simplicity, in this activity, you will create and process all documents in the system on this business date.
3. On the Company and Branch Selection menu, in the top pane of the MYOB Acumatica screen, make sure the SweetLife Head Office and Wholesale Center branch is selected.

Step 3: Processing the Purchase Receipt

To create a purchase receipt for the purchase order, do the following:

1. While you are still viewing the Purchase of fruits purchase order on the Purchase Orders (PO301000) form, on the form toolbar, click Enter PO Receipt. The system prepares the purchase receipt for the selected purchase order and opens it on the Purchase Receipts (PO302000) form.
2. On the form toolbar, click Save.

   Review the details of the prepared purchase receipt. Make sure that the Create Bill check box is cleared in the Summary area. (In the next step, you will prepare the bill manually.)

3. On the form toolbar, click Release. Wait for the system to complete the operation.
4. On the Other tab, click the IN Ref. Nbr. link. The inventory receipt opens on the Receipts (IN301000) form in a pop-up window. Review the details of the generated inventory receipt. Make sure the inventory receipt has the Released status. Close the inventory receipt.
5. Open the Inventory Valuation (IN615500) report form.
6. On the Report Parameters tab, specify the following settings:
   • Company/Branch: HEADOFFICE - SweetLife Head Office and Wholesale Center
   • Warehouse: WHOLESALE
   • Report Format: Summary

   Leave the default settings for the other parameters.

7. On the form toolbar of the report form, click Run Report. The print form of the report opens. Review the report. Make sure that the report reflects the receipt (to the warehouse) of the purchased items and their availability.

Step 4: Processing the AP Bill

To process the AP bill to the GLORYFRUIT vendor, do the following:

1. Open the purchase receipt that you have processed earlier in this activity on the Purchase Receipts (PO302000) form.
2. On the form toolbar, click Enter AP Bill. The system generates an accounts payable bill to the vendor of the goods and shows the created document on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form.
3. On the form toolbar, click Save.
4. Click Remove Hold, which gives you the ability to release the bill.
5. Click Release.
6. Return to the purchase order to the GLORYFRUIT vendor on the Purchase Orders (PO301000) form, and review its details. Notice that the order now has a status of Closed, as shown in the following screenshot. On the PO History tab, notice that the information about the purchase receipt and accounts payable bill that were prepared for the order is displayed. According to this information, the purchased items have been received to inventory and billed in full, so the purchasing process is completed.
