13、 part will directly affect the inventory master file numbers. if an item does not “scan”, then it must be rescanned or dealt with so that the integrity of the records is upheld. similarly, employees should be trained not to skip sales. if an item does not “scan”, the employee should be trained to ac

14、curately enter in the “bar code” of the item. entering a generic or erroneous code not only creates an inventory error, but it also frustrates the customer who may take their business elsewhere. in addition, employees should be trained to report and/or fix errors in bar codes as they are encountered

15、 and in a timely manner.10.4the report already provides dollar amounts outstanding by number of days past due by customer and by invoice. however, the percentage of total accounts receivable categorized by days past due would help to alert management of categories that are increasing. this could als

16、o be reported by customer and by invoice. this way if a particular invoice was not being paid, the company could more quickly identify the invoice, contact the customer, and potentially resolve any problems or disputes about the particular invoice. in addition, reporting by customer can help to iden
