As part of the Shared Services Development Programme, a new suite of shopping reports has been created, along with apps to provide shoppers and managers with a full picture of the end to end shopping process. These enhancements will provide a central point for shoppers and managers to monitor their purchase orders and invoices, making it easier to self-serve when managing supplier accounts, purchase orders and payments, reducing the risk of rejected invoices and late payments to suppliers.
There are five new reports and two apps as follows:
- Shopping Cart Status
- Purchase Order Details
- Supplier Invoice and Payments
- Supplier Balance
- Purchase Order Invoice Status
- View Purchase Order
- View Supplier Invoice
Highlights of new functionality include:
- View who a shopping cart has been sent to for approval using Shopping Cart Status
- View the status of a purchase order and clearly identify what has been paid and the remaining balance of purchase orders using Purchase Order Details
- Tracking centrally processed invoices from the point of scanning through to payment and viewing the invoice image using the Purchase Order Invoice Status Report and View Supplier Invoice app
- Identify who a centrally processed invoice is with and what action is required using Purchase Order Invoice Status Report
- View all purchase order and non-purchase order payment details using Supplier Invoice and Payments
- Easily identify when an invoice is blocked for payment using Supplier Invoice and Payments
- View VAT paid using Supplier Invoice and Payments
- View full details of a supplier account balance using Supplier Balance
- Drill through between the different shopping reports to see different stages of the purchasing process
