Sir there was this question that I don’t seem to understand
When charging direct material cost to a job or process, the details would be taken from which document?
a purchase requisition
b Material requisition
c goods recieved note
d purchase ordermy answer was d but it was apparenty wrong
I dont understand why it was wrong sir
Infact im actually confused with c being the correct answerI remember something that material requistion notes only record quantities and not price
so why would anyone charge a cost from using the material requistion note
The material requistion note only gives the quantity asked from the stores department by the manufacturing departmentthe purchase order on the otherhand tells you how much we actually bought the materials for
from the supplierSir please help me out with this confusion
December 19, 2020 at 4:58 pm #600338The reason is that whatever they ordered does not necessarily mean that is what they received.
It is only from the goods received note that they will know what they actually did receive. They would certainly need to check from the invoice to find out what the cost of those goods was.
(And the purchase order will not necessarily have prices on it either.)December 20, 2020 at 4:07 am #600361oh alright i understood sir…thank you very much for explaining
