For the purpose of calculating the volume of other common types of System Functions, based on the forecast purchase order volumes, the following ratios to each purchase order are believed to apply in a typical Agency:

1.1 invoices
Part of the reason for the large increase in year 3 is the introduction of New Zealand Police and New Zealand Defence Force volumes. These Agencies will not use the requisitioning / front end functionality of the System (see Scenario 6 in section 14).
