ADMS 2610 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Jules Michelet, Purchase Order
Document Summary
Cheap and save food stores limited regularly purchased large quantities of strawberries for its bulk food section from a canadian food wholesaler. The purchase of strawberries was carried out with a separate purchase order and invoice each time although a full, written contract had been executed between the parties governing the relationship in its entirety. One of the terms of the contract specified that for individual orders in excess of 100 kg, a quantity discount of 15% would be applied to the purchase price. Since these were very favourable terms, cheap and save regularly ordered quantities ranging between 500-700 kg of strawberries to adequately supply all of its stores. After it had been purchasing strawberries for over a year, cheap and save received a note attached to its most recent invoice informing it that the contract was in error. The wholesaler"s policy was that only purchases in excess of 1000 kg were entitled to the quantity discount of 15%.
