Shahid Corporation is a midsize, privately owned, industrial instrument manufacturer supplying
precision equipment to manufacturers in the Midwest. The corporation is 10 years old
and uses an integrated ERP system. The administrative offices are located in a
downtown building and the production, shipping, and receiving departments are housed
in a renovated warehouse a few blocks away.
Customers place orders on the company’s website, by fax, or by telephone. All sales are
on credit, FOB destination. During the past year sales have increased dramatically, but
15% of credit sales have had to written off as uncollectible, including several large online
orders to first-time customers who denied ordering or receiving the merchandise.
Customer orders are picked and sent to the warehouse, where they are placed near the
loading dock in alphabetical sequence by customer name. The loading dock is used both
for outgoing shipments to customers and to receive incoming deliveries. There are ten
to twenty incoming deliveries every day, from a variety of sources.
The increased volume of sales has resulted in a number of errors in which customers
were sent the wrong items. There have also been some delays in shipping because items
that supposedly were in stock could not be found in the warehouse. Although a
perpetual inventory is maintained, there has not been a physical count of inventory for
two years. When an item is missing, the warehouse staff writes the information down in
log book. Once a week, the warehouse staff uses the log book to update the inventory
records.
The system is configured to prepare the sales invoice only after shipping employees
enter the actual quantities sent to a customer, thereby ensuring that customers are
billed only for items actually sent and not for anything on back order.
Questions:
a. Identify at least three weaknesses in Shahid Corporation’s revenue cycle activities.
b. Describe the problem resulting from each weakness.
c. Recommend control procedures that should be added to the system to correct the
weakness.
