Breakthrough feature streamlines complex procurement processes and enhances financial flexibility for businesses
Store'N'Ship Fast, a leading warehouse management system (WMS) provider, today announced the launch of its innovative multi-invoice functionality, allowing businesses to generate multiple invoices for a single purchase order. This ground-breaking feature addresses a critical need in modern supply chain management, where complex procurement scenarios often require flexible invoicing solutions.
Traditional warehouse management systems typically operate on a one-to-one relationship between purchase orders and invoices, creating significant challenges for businesses dealing with partial shipments, multiple suppliers, or staged deliveries. Store'N'Ship Fast's new multi-invoice capability eliminates these constraints, enabling companies to maintain accurate financial records while accommodating complex fulfillment scenarios.
An electronics manufacturer places a purchase order for 1,000 units of components worth $50,000. Due to supplier capacity constraints, the vendor delivers 400 units in Week 1, 350 units in Week 2, and the remaining 250 units in Week 3. With Store'N'Ship Fast's multi-invoice feature, the manufacturer can generate separate invoices for each delivery ($20,000, $17,500, and $12,500 respectively), enabling accurate cash flow management and inventory tracking for each shipment.
Retail Distribution Example:A retail chain orders seasonal merchandise through a single purchase order totaling $100,000. The order includes items from three different suppliers within the vendor's network. Previously, this would require complex workarounds or delayed payments. Now, Store'N'Ship Fast enables the creation of three separate invoices - $45,000 for clothing items, $35,000 for accessories, and $20,000 for seasonal decorations - each tied to the original purchase order while maintaining complete audit trails.
Service-Based Industry Case:A construction company places a purchase order for building materials worth $75,000. Due to project timeline requirements, materials are needed at different phases: foundation materials in Month 1 ($30,000), framing materials in Month 2 ($25,000), and finishing materials in Month 3 ($20,000). The multi-invoice capability allows for phase-based billing that aligns with project milestones and budget allocations.
"We recognized that modern businesses often face situations where a single purchase order needs to be fulfilled through multiple invoices," said the Store'N'Ship Fast development team. "Whether it's due to partial shipments, different delivery schedules, or multiple vendor involvement, our multi-invoice feature provides the flexibility that today's dynamic supply chains demand."
The multi-invoice functionality integrates seamlessly with Store'N'Ship Fast's existing WMS infrastructure. The system maintains complete traceability between the original purchase order and all associated invoices, ensuring data integrity and providing comprehensive reporting capabilities.
Users can easily split invoices based on various criteria including shipment dates, product categories, supplier information, or custom business rules. The system automatically updates inventory levels and financial records across all related invoices, maintaining consistency throughout the entire process.
This development comes at a time when supply chain complexity is increasing across industries. E-commerce growth, global sourcing strategies, and just-in-time inventory practices have created scenarios where traditional single-invoice systems fall short of business requirements.
The multi-invoice capability is particularly valuable for industries such as manufacturing, retail, and distribution, where procurement processes often involve multiple stakeholders and complex delivery schedules.
Store'N'Ship Fast indicates that this multi-invoice feature represents the first phase of a broader initiative to enhance financial integration within their WMS platform. Future updates are expected to include advanced analytics for invoice performance, automated invoice splitting based on AI-driven rules, and enhanced integration capabilities with popular accounting software.
The multi-invoice functionality is now available to all Store'N'Ship Fast customers as part of their standard WMS package. Existing users can access the feature through a simple system update, while new customers will have the capability included in their initial deployment.
