How to guide business by pricing of the services
• Cost per transaction is the advanced model – more effective than agreed FTE.
• Example:– paper invoice w/o PO 2 EUR– paper invoice with PO invoice 1 EUR– E-invoice 0.5 EUR
similar model can be setup for billing invoice, cash collection, Master Data or contracts setup / maintenance and other processes.
This is fair to the business –pays for real activities and it motivates them to use 21st century technology (e-invoices, PO etc.).

WÄRTSILÄ case examplesLocal Company Vendor Sourcing Purchasing
Goods reception
Accounts booking Invoice handling
Payment handling
Year end closing Archiving
Receiving of purchase invoices from local company to WSSC takes too long. Example 1: Invoice number 145/ payment terms 60 days net, invoice dated 24.3.2006, invoice stamped in local company on 5.6.2006, WSSC sent the invoice to purchaser for checking on 14.6.2006.Example 2: Invoice numbers 22198, 22274 & 22445/ payment terms 30 days net, invoices dated 5.10.2005, 13.10.2005 and 1.11.2005, invoices received in WSSC on 31.8.2006.
For more example cases please see the latest copy of invoices received at WSSC on week 36! 500 invoices received, all overdue before arriving (including "critical" vendors like Gadelius).
ERROR:Initiator: Invoices are sent
too late to WSSC.
Step 2. Vendor complains about overdue payment. Vendor relationship suffers.
Vendor relations suffer because of late payments, possible problems to delivery accuracy.
Step 3. Purchaser does not know why the payment is late, contacts WSSC to find out.
Possibly no cost taken during the correct month (if no valuated GR done for the PO or if no accrual exists).
Step 1. When invoice is received at WSSC the payment date is already due. Step 4. WSSC receives calls from vendors and purchasers trying to explains the situation.
Cross-company ordering. Example: PO 2500003193 WIT purchaser has created a PO using the company code/PO number serie for WFI-CMPLIT instead of Wärtsilä Italia. In this case the goods receipt is done under WIT but the invoice will be sent to WFI-CMPLIT. This will cause extra work in Purchasing, Goods reception, Invoice & Payment handling.
Step 1. Vendor sends the material to WIT but the invoice sent is addressed to WFI-CMPLIT.
ERROR:Initiator: Purchaser uses the wrong
company code/wrong purchase order number serie when creating a
purchase order.Step 5. Purchaser creates a credit
invoice and sends to WSSC to correct the wrong invoice. A new PO has to be done with the right company code. Statistics of the POs done for WIT / CMPL are
wrong.
Step 2. Material is received into WIT Warehouse. Goods reception is done which means that the goods are reported under WIT inventory/costs, but WFI-CMPLIT receives the invoice. If goods are already reported, GR has to be reversed if only possible. A new PO has to be opened and GR to be done again. This needs to be investigated in more details to clarify what is the excat procedure in these cases.
Step 3. Costs are booked/Inventory value increased under the wrong company. Possible differences in the GR/IR account.
Step 4. Invoice can not be processed because the PO number used belongs to WFI-CMPLIT but the rest of the information in the PO is for WIT. Additionally the invoice is addressed to WFI-CMPLIT. Purchaser is contacted for corrections.Step 6. WSSC processes the credit invoice made by purchaser.
Step 7: Reports do not match (Warehouse inventories do not match). Possible differences in the GR/IR account.
This is one of the most occuring and time consuming errors. GR (Goods reception) is required for the below mentioned POs. Purchaser releases the invoice for payment even though the GR is not done yet.Examples:PO 4500208993,PO 4500203228,PO 4500207730,PO 4500199592.
Local company might have the goods physically in the stock but GR is reported too late (cost taken too late).
Step 10. Vendor complains about overdue payment.
Vendor relations suffer because of late payments, possible problems to delivery accuracy.
ERROR:Step 2. Initiator: Purchaser approves the invoice without
checking if GR is done or not ==> Invoice goes to MRBR list (payment
block list). Purchaser informs WSSC that GR is done and invoice
can be completed.Step 5. Purchaser contacts GR department to clarify the case.Step 7. In case A: Purchaser
releases the invoice from the MRBR list and informs WSSC that the
invoice is ready to be completed. In case B: Purchaser has to wait until GR is done (for all positions in the
PO) and after that purchaser has to release the invoice from the MRBR
list (often not done) and inform WSSC that the invoice is now ready
to be completed.
Step 6. Two options:A) Goods are received but GR is not done = might be due to heavy workload, unefficient process flow, unefficient way of working. GR dpt informs the purchaser that now GR is done.B) Goods are not delivered or delivered partly. GR dpt informs the purchaser..
Costs are not taken during the correct month.
Step 1. Invoice is received before goods are delivered/goods reception done. When system is matching the invoice with the PO the Vendor invoice administrator notices that GR is missing. Vendor invoice administrator sends the invoice to purchaser for checking.Step 3. Vendor invoice administrator can not complete the invoice because it is in the MRBR list. Step 4. Vendor invoice administrator informs the purchaser that the invoice can not be completed because GR is not done (there are POs where GR is done for 1 position but the rest of the positions are without GR).Step 9. Invoice is completed for payment, most likely too late and the invoice is overdue.
Costs are taken during wrong months.
