POST-PURCHASE RECONCILIATION MADE EASY

Explore the enhanced features of Business Order Info to streamline your
organization’s procurement reporting, accounting and post-purchase
reconciliation processes.
By Janice Lee Published on 30 November 2023

In the world of modern business management, the optimization of procurement
reporting, accounting, and post-purchase reconciliation is critical to
maintaining accurate business forecasts, pragmatic reconciliation, cost
allocation, and insightful spend analysis. Amazon Business's Business Order Info
feature set offers a solution designed to aid organizations in reconciling
order-related information seamlessly within their business reporting. 

Our setup provides a streamlined checkout process for our users by saving time
and removing unneeded clicks by having Business Order Info defaulted by the
sub-group. Also, this helps to eliminate errors that would have been an issue.
Business Order Info also helps us with invoice reconciliation making it easier
for AP to understand what funds should be applied for the payments.

— Paula Aldous, Executive Director of Business and Finance at Chesterfield
County Public Schools

Administrators can establish order information using six pre-defined fields –
Cost Center, Location Code, Department Code, Account Number, Project Code, and
GL Code – along with 13 additional custom fields. Buyers can populate these
fields when placing an order, allowing the association of this information with
their business orders. Business Order Info, as a facilitator, integrates
approval workflows and integration into reconciliation mechanisms like order
details, invoices, business analytics reports, and packing slips. It supports
key processes in cost accounting, financial reconciliation, and spend analysis,
and aligns purchasing practices with internal financial organizational
structures.




RECENT UPDATES:


1. EXTENDED DROPDOWN LIMITS AND SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY IN CHECKOUT

The first update expands the dropdown options per field from 100 to 500;
offering administrators increased flexibility in configuring Business Order Info
fields with organizational reporting. Buyers can now utilize a search function
during checkout, enabling them to quickly find the appropriate dropdown value
and eliminating the need to scroll through an extensive list of options.

 


2. GROUP LEVEL BUSINESS ORDER INFO CONFIGURATION

The second update introduces the capability to configure Business Order Info at
the Amazon Business group level. This feature enhancement allows administrators
to streamline the setup and management of Business Order Info fields and values
at the group level, allowing customization that aligns with an organization’s
specific reporting and accounting needs.

By simply toggling the group name at the top of the checkout page, the users can
choose what rules should apply to their purchase. With the control I have over
the settings, we can ensure employees are capturing all the information we need
and getting appropriate approval when paying by invoice, while also giving our
employees the benefit of a quick and easy Amazon Business Prime experience.

— Megan Wright, Procurement Operations at Admiral Insurance

In essence, these updates empower administrators to simplify the purchasing
experience for buyers, reduce the effort required to adhere to order-related
procurement details, and streamline cross-departmental communication for
monitoring and validating Business Order Info fields and values.
