Do you know how often when purchasing forgets to reflect special deals on a purchase order, those special arrangements are lost? And sadly, many purchasing professionals do forget. The most commonly lost special is when special payment terms. I think you will be horrified to discover just how many of these special arrangements end up getting lost. The problem is exacerbated at year end, when many sales people are trying to make their numbers or even increase them because bonuses are based frequently on sales.
