Sir, I came across the following question.
Which TWO of the following controls of a sales system ensure that all goods despatched are completely and accurately invoiced?
(1) Goods despatched notes are matched to sales invoices
(2) Sales invoices are sequentially numbered
(3) Sales invoices are matched to customer orders
(4) Regular review of unfulfilled ordersI chose the option as 1&2, but the correct one was 1&4.
Can you please explain me how (4) and not (2) checks for completion and accuracy, as the question is talking about despatched goods.2 will detect missing invoices. However, if a despatch note went missing before it triggered an invoice to be raised, the invoice sequence would be complete but no invoice wouldmhave been raised for that despatch.
4 Just about works depending what is meant by ‘review’. The worry is that these orders might actually be fulfilled, but have not been processed to show that and that therefore an invoice had not been raised for the despatch.
3 This is not right. You will only select invoices for matching. You cannot select missing ones.
