    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 order

    my 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 answer

    I 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 department

    the purchase order on the otherhand tells you how much we actually bought the materials for
    from the supplier

    Sir please help me out with this confusion

    The 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.)
