Purchase orders need to match the quote, and invoices need to match the shipment. When they don't, you're the one who figures out why. You'll keep purchasing, receiving, and accounts payable on the same page by fixing PO pricing, handling ad hoc buys, and running down invoice problems until they're resolved.
What you'll do
- Catch and correct PO pricing errors against supplier agreements and quotes
- Track open POs and work with suppliers on price, quantity, and delivery issues
- Source and buy ad hoc items for operations, maintenance, and special projects
- Get quotes, compare pricing and lead times, and process urgent POs
- Investigate invoice discrepancies (freight, quantities, pricing, vendor billing errors) using BOLs, packing slips, and proof of delivery
- Be the go-to person for Receiving and Accounts Payable on PO, shipment, and invoice questions
- Support month-end by making sure purchasing and receiving documents are complete
- Report on PO accuracy, supplier performance, and cost savings, and help improve the process
