Failure to register the materials rejected at the warehouse by means of raising a debit note. So payment for incoming

Inabilitytoascertaindebitnotedeviation.

TheinabilitytocaptureavectorofactualWIPVsworkscheduledforanygiventimeframe.
The systems tracks all rejected materials. Until debit note for all rejected materials are raised the payment

The total digital linking of the Stores and Finance department rules out all irregularities between PO and
Billing, and enables the correct deduction of monies through the projection of exact debit note deviation
value.
The system cross-checks the quantity of material physically present in the Inventory against the materials
mentioned in the bill, and gives a clear picture of discrepancies if any. This ensures the appropriate
deductionofthedifferenceinpriceandavoidingover-payment.

Task-wise lead time tracking for each job automatically triggers escalations through the appropriate
hierarchy and gets the attention of authority into the lag. This ensures performance efficiency of man and
machine.

The Norms Fixing function of the ERP closely registers the amount actually consumed by the production
process and verifies it against estimated consumption of material for the same and reveals the actual
