I) Material Receipts:

User department raises an MRN, capturing specifications and quality details of material required. The User Department Head approves the MRN as per the policy and subsequently forwards to commercial for use of material. Commercial personnel checks whether the requirement can be met out of the existing inventory stock at the warehouse. If sufficient inventory stocks are not available, the user department is asked to raise an indent. At the time of raising the indent the user department personnel specifies the material category as capital item or revenue

28

item based on the standard item master maintained. All indents raised are approved by the User Department Head centrally, excluding certain opex items as per policy. A Purchase order (PO) is issued against the indent (also specifying the item category- capex/ opex) and material is received.

At the warehouse:

In case of receipt of receipt of material at the warehouse, the warehouse in-charge verifies whether the quality specifications and value of material delivered as per the PO. If the material delivered does not meet the stipulated specifications, the material may be rejected as per the policy. In case of a rejection of material, the warehouse in-charge marks the same on the delivery challan/invoice and informs the User Department and vendor of the same. Subsequently, the warehouse in-charge makes an entry in the Material Return Register (MRR), capturing details of the delivery and material details of the rejected material. The rejected material is stored separately and returned through issue of a non-returnable gate passIf no discrepancies are observed, the warehouse in-charge updates the inventory register and raises a Goods Receipt Note (GRN) in System (FOC material received is separately noted). Material received is stored as per the prescribed stacking norms to ensure easy traceability and access.

At the location:

In case of receipt of material directly at the location, the Site Engineer/User Department Personnel verifies the material specifications vis-à-vis the invoice/challan delivered. If the quantity of the material is not as per invoice/challan the Site Engineer/User Department personnel marks the excess/shortage on the delivery challan/invoice and forwards the invoice/delivery challan to network personnel/ User Department personnel for approval.Network/User Department personnel approve the document and forward the same to the warehouse in-charge. The warehouse in-charge validates the invoice quantity vis-à-vis the PO quantity or as mentioned in the delivery schedule provided in the PO.

29

Page 30: Summer Training on Mts Service Provider

If invoice quantity is greater than the PO quantity the warehouse in-charge informs the vendor and User Department of the same. If a consensus is reached as per policy to accept the extra quantity the User Department personnel amend the Indent raises a fresh indent for the additional quantity and forwards it for requisite approvals to User Department Head. Thereafter, the commercial department amends the PO and relevant commercial personnel as per policy.

If the invoice quantity is lesser than the PO quantity the warehouse in-charge informs the Vendor and User Department of the shortage and escalates the incomplete delivery as per PO schedule, as per policy.

For the material being accepted, the warehouse in-charge raises a Goods Received Note (GRN) in System. Simultaneously, the Warehouse in-charge raises a Material Transfer Note (MTN) for the material. He/she indicates the location where the material has been received on the MTN. Thereafter, he/she updates the inventory register indicating the receipt and issue of material. Subsequently, the warehouse in-charge forwards the MTN details to Finance personnel, for updating the CWIP register.

Completion of work as per work order:

In case of work performed against a work order issued, the Project Manager (PM) issues a Work Completion Certificate (WCC) and forwards the same to warehouse in-charge, along with relevant documents, which are approved as per policy.

The warehouse in-charge prepares a Service Receipt Note (SRN) in System and raises an MTN for services received. The warehouse in-charge indicates the location where the services have been received on the MTN.

II) Inventory ageing and physical control

Warehouse personnel prepares an inventory ageing report as per defined frequency capturing details such as item specification, vendor, quantity, date of receipt, GRN

30

Page 31: Summer Training on Mts Service Provider

details, user department etc. He/ she forward the ageing report to the respective user departments for feedback. User department specify whether the material is usable or is to be scrapped/transferred. Thereafter, the process for disposal of material or transfer of material is initiated as indicated by the user department.

A joint physical verification of inventory is undertaken by Commercial and Finance personnel as per the defined schedule. The verification is to reconcile physical stock vis-à-vis stock reflected in the inventory records. If a variation is noted, corrective action is taken as per policy.

III) Capital Work in Progress (CWIP) Accounting

Finance personnel receive GRN/SRN and approved invoice for materials/ services received and passes an accounting entry for creating vendor liability and updates CWIP inventory. The inventory cost accounted for in CWIP account excludes the cenvatable tax component mentioned in the invoice. At the end of every month finance personnel generates GRN/SRN report from SYSTEM, and reconciles the same with invoices booked for the month. Thereafter he/she identifies all GRNs/SRNs for which an invoice has not been received during the period and forwards the same to Commercial personnel for validation. Once approved, Finance personnel provisions for vendor liability for material/services against which no invoices have been booked. Also he/she updates CWIP with the same.Periodically finance personnel calculate ageing of CWIP inventory based on date of receipt of goods as per GRN/SRN. He/ she identifies reasons for slow moving/ non moving items for material lying at locations, e.g. material lying at/ expenses incurred for an abandoned site. The Finance personnel may consider taking corrective actions e.g.Explore possibility of reallocation of material, disposal or write off (where re-use/ re-allocation are not possible).

IV) Issue and dispatch of material:

31

Page 32: Summer Training on Mts Service Provider

On receipt of approved MRN from the user department the warehouse in-charge prepares an MTN. He/she indicates the location to which material is to be transferred as per the MRN. Thereafter, warehouse in-charge updates inventory quantity in the inventory record and dispatches the material. He/she also forwards the MTN details to Finance personnel for updating the CWIP register.

Warehouse in-charge also prepares a monthly report of MTNs issued, capturing details of material issued and location of transfer. He /she forward this report on a monthly basis to finance personnel, for ensuring comprehensive updating of the CWIP register.

V) Updating of Fixed Asset Register and capitalization of assets including provisional capitalization:

Finance personnel receives site on-air report and commissioning certificate/put to use date, along with asset configuration details, from the PM/ user department on a periodic basis. PM/ user department also forwards expansion and upgrade details. In case there is no expansion or upgrade for the defined period a nil declaration report is submitted to finance personnel. Finance personnel receive a monthly MTN report from Commercial personnel and reconciles the same with inputs received from PM/user department to identify items to be capitalized. Also, he/she ascertains the category and useful life of the asset as per guidelines provided in the accounting manual.

A finance personnel transfers items to be capitalized from CWIP to FAR and passes accounting entries for the same.

VI) Asset Tagging

Finance personnel generate serial numbers for all assets to be tagged. Serial numbers capture relevant asset details as per the format. Finance personnel subsequently oversee fixing of labels on physical assets by external agency. Thereafter, finance personnel carries out a random sample check for accuracy of

32

Page 33: Summer Training on Mts Service Provider

asset tagging performed by the appointed agency. Any discrepancies noted are corrected.

VII) Inter location movement of asset As per requirement, User Department personnel fills out the Asset Movement Form (AMF) specifying the asset serial number and description, existing location and location of transfer. The AMF is approved as per policy and the asset is transferred. If the asset is being transferred to another location, user department personnel send the AMF to Finance personnel. Finance personnel update the FAR capturing movement details on a monthly basis.

VIII) Return of Assets to Warehouse

If the asset is being returned to the warehouse, the user department personnel forward the AMF to warehouse in-charge. Warehouse in-charge makes an entry in the Material Return Register (MRR).

In case an MRN is received for issue of returned goods within specified period, warehouse in-charge raises an MTN capturing location of transfer. He/ she dispatch material to the specified location as per MRN and forwards MTN details to Finance Personnel. Finance personnel capture asset movement details in FAR. If the asset is to be retained at warehouse, warehouse in-charge updates the inventory details and forwards the same to Finance personnel for de-capitalization. Finance personnel de-capitalize the asset, by transferring the asset from FAR to CWIP, as per policy.

IX) Asset Disposal

An asset may be identified as obsolete as per the policy on identification and disposal of scrap material. Details of such assets are captured on the AMF by the user department and forwarded to warehouse in-charge. The warehouse in-charge

33

Page 34: Summer Training on Mts Service Provider

fills out an Asset Disposal Form (ADF) and forwards the same to finance personnel.Also, for assets identified for disposal in the feedback received from user departments on inventory ageing, the warehouse in-charge fills out an ADF and forwards the same to finance personnel.

Thereafter, the Finance personnel calculate the WDV for the asset to be disposed and invite quotations for sale of the asset as per policy. Subsequently, he/she performs a comparative analysis of quotes received and forwards the same to the relevant authority, as per policy, for selection of a buyer. Once a buyer is identified Finance personnel obtains the sale consideration from the buyer and generates a sale invoice for the same.Finance personnel oversee delivery of the asset to the buyer. Subsequently, he/she updates the FAR, capturing details of the sale and passes an accounting entry for disposal of asset.

X) Physical Verification of Assets

As per physical verification schedule, Finance personnel generates a list of assets from FAR and forwards the same to external agency appointed for physical verification of assets. The appointed agency submits the observations of the physical verification capturing details of variance e.g. variance of quantity or specification of book v/s physical asset. Thereafter, Finance personnel pass relevant accounting entries and updates FAR.

In my report I learn that SSTL is running by the experienced people that are

capable enough to take the competitive advantage in market.

F&C department’s process is good but it is not feasible to make the

documents in EXCEL.

When our MIS is hamper due to technical problems so it is suggested to

company to make another system as a supportive so we can do our work

without inconvenience.

The Company can use software’s like SAP(System Analysis and Program

Development)
