The Headaches Of Ordering

Bids and quotes, contracts, contract compliance and reporting. Catalog management. Updating prices. When you manually manage your supply chain these are things that you have to do in order for your club to be the best it can be. But manually managing all these things is not only difficult, it’s stressful and sometimes it can even be confusing. There has to be an easier way.

The best way to take the complexity out of ordering is to code purchase orders properly. Is the product going into an inventory account or is it being directly expensed? Is the product being coded now or is it being coded later?

Unfortunately, most purchases in a non-automated P2P operation do not necessarily code orders until the invoice is entered. This is too late! When a purchase is coded this late in the process it leaves room for error (and error costs money).

CedarCreek Takes Away The Complexity Of Ordering

In an automated solution, like CedarCreek, the order is coded at the time of the order. Orders for inventory accounts will increase inventory when received and orders for direct consumption will be expensed when received.
