    The Science Department ordered two books for a grade school science fair from the Procurement Department, who promised a two week delivery time. After a month passed without receiving the books, the teacher discovered her order was not processed because it did not meet the Procurement Department's requirement of 50-100 orders to be placed at once. The order should have been placed through the Book Center for orders under 50 books. This miscommunication between departments caused a delay in the teacher receiving the books needed for her class project.

    Delayed Orders: Case 1

    Management Accounting

    The Case of Delayed Orders


    Area: Determining Management Accounting Information

    Ms. Kristine is a teacher who handles Science subjects in Excelsior Grade School. In
    preparation for the Science Fair, she is organizing a competition among Grade 3 pupils.
    Part of the preparation is ordering 2 books entitled: “Modern Science in the 21st Century”
    & “Dynamic Science.”

    The Science Department has already placed the 2 book orders with the Procurement
    Department. Delivery of such books to Ms. Kristine will be 2 weeks from date of request as
    promised.

    The Procurement Department’s main responsibility is to purchase school equipments,


    facilities & office supplies.

    Book purchase requests are only processed if there are 50 - 100 orders. The book center
    takes charge of buying books if less than 50 are ordered. As a school policy, all book
    requests will pass the book center for log register.

    The Finance & Treasury Office received the request form from the Science Department.
    Upon checking the price of the 2 books, Php1,700.00 was already charged to the
    department.

    It has been closed to a month and no books have been received yet by Ms. Kristine. She
    inquired from the Procurement Department and got a reply that her order should be
    coursed through the Book Center.

    Guide Questions:
    1. What cause the delay?

    2. What management accounting information are important to make the ordering


    system efficient and effective?

    3. What are the valid department / unit information needs?
