iii. Once this is completed, an appropriate credit limit is set for each customer by the financial controller.
iv. Customers must use a standard sales order form when placing orders.
v. Sales clerks will enter details of the sales order into the system which then check if the goods ordered are available and if the customer has sufficient credit limit available for this order.
vi. All forms are pre numbered sequentially.
vii. Prices for all products are stored in the system’s master file.
viii. These details can only be amended by the Financial Controller.
