User departments raise indents as per their requirements.
Indents are authorised by HOD & Principal.
Indents are then segregated into three categories & an order is placed as per the categories mentioned below.
Standing Purchase Order
Purchase Order
Local / Cash Purchase.
SPO & Purchase order is signed by the authorised signatory and is kept with the stores department. A copy of SPO is sent to the accounts department for their reference of rates & their contracted period.
For SPO & PO, order is placed by sending email, WhatsApp message, or by telephonic call.
Common Process is as follows:
The materials are received in the stores in presence of the Security In charge. Original copy of the invoice/ challan is maintained with the stores department. Copy of Invoice/ Challan is given to the security.
A Goods received note (GRN) is raised immediately for the goods received in the following manner:
If SPO, GRN is prepared as per the rate prescribed in SPO
If Purchase Order, GRN is prepared as per the invoice/challan received as per the rate & quantity prescribed in the Purchase Order. For regular vendors if the purchase is below Rs 500/- GRN is raised directly and for purchases above Rs 500/, a Purchase order is raised.
If Cash Purchase, a GRN is raised directly as per the invoice
Store In charge authorises all GRN, Invoice/ Challan & enter in the Inward Register.
Invoice/ Challan is further authorized by the HOD’s and Invoice is finally authorised by the Principal.
All documents are attached together and is listed in Inward Register & is handed over to accounts department for approval and release of payment.
Rate and quantity mentioned in the bill are reconciled with Rate mentioned in the PO & Quantity mentioned with the GRN respectively.
Incase Quantity/ Rate is a mismatch, then the vendor is requested to send us a revised bill.
Reasons for Multiple GRN’s.
After placing the order, when we receive the Delivery Challan/ Invoice, certain items are not a part of contracted rate, and hence, for items that are a part of SPO, a separate GRN is raised, and for items that are not a part of contracted rate, a separate GRN is raised, and hence, there are multiple GRN’s printed for the same Invoice/ Challan.
In Case of a Purchase order, there are times, all materials mentioned on the Purchase order are not delivered together. Items are delivered partly due to unavailability of items at times with the vendor. He then delivers the remaining items from the previous order with the next order and makes a common delivery challan/ Invoice. Hence, again, multiple GRN’s are raised for the same.
Procedure for Cash Purchase:
The stores department in charge makes the Advance Cash Voucher which is authorised by the Principal and the stores department signs for receiving the same.
The items are purchased and the process of stamping at the gate and inward of materials is followed.
A GRN is raised for the Invoice
The user department HOD checks all materials and signs as an acknowledgement on the Invoice.
Invoice/ Challan is further authorized by the HOD’s and Invoice is finally authorised by the Principal.
Store In charge authorises all GRN, Invoice/ Challan. Which is sent to the Accounts department directly against Advance Voucher.
A settlement vouchers is made which is signed by the store in charge and is authorised by the Principal.
The voucher, Invoice and the GRN is then submitted to the accounts department for settlement with 3 working days.
Procedure for Student Account Purchase:
A Purchase Committee is formed by the Principal which consists of the core teaching staff members, Representative of the Society and the Principal himself.
After the finalization of the vendor by the above mentioned committee, a Purchase order is raised for various materials.
Goods are then received as per our specification and the invoice is submitted to the accounts department.
The goods are then distributed by the staff members.
A distribution report is submitted to the accounts
