REVENUE AND RECEIPT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Orders

All orders are received via email or fax and no telephone orders are accepted. The company also sells on credit.

When the orders are received by the order clerks, they first check whether the products are available on the system. Once it has been established that products are available on the system, the order is then sent through to the storemen, who then picks up the products from the warehouse. If the inventory is not available, the customer order is temporarily filed in a pending file which is attended to on an ad-hoc basis by the sales manager, Eddie Gora.

Picking and collection

The goods are picked by the storemen and placed at the despatch with the customer order. The despatch clerks then prepare a pre-numbered collection note from the customer order. Customers are then notified that their goods are ready for collection.

Customers collect their products together with the collection note from despatch, since the company does not deliver them. Customers exit the premises through the security gate where their products are checked by the gate controller against the collection note and the invoice, prepared by Aldraide Mushe. If some items are missing as listed on the customer’s invoice, an X is placed next the missing items and a copy of the invoice made. The customer is given back the invoice in order to exit the gate, then the copy invoice is sent to the debtors’ administrator, Nyasha Zhou. Nyasha then passes a credit note for the missing items indicated on the invoice and sent to the customer later.

Invoicing

When sending a customer order to the warehouse, the order clerks send another one to Aldraide Mushe, the invoicing clerk. Aldraide then obtains the customer’s details, description, quantity and price of products ordered in order to prepare an invoice. Invoices and credit notes are pre-printed , prenumbered and multi- processed.

Aldraide Mushe places the top copy in a pending file on Nyasha’s desk, the second copy is taken to the gate controller, while the third copy is retained in the file.

Recording

Nyasha Zhou then takes the invoices from the pending file as well as the credit notes he has passed and records them regularly in the sales journal and debtors’ ledger.
