Existing customers should be allocated a credit limit and it should be ascertained whether this limit
is to be exceeded if the new order is accepted. If so the matter should be referred to credit control.
Any new customer should be referred to the credit control department before the order is accepted.
All orders received should be recorded on pre-numbered sales order documents so that a check can
be made that all orders have been dealt with -a completeness check.
All orders should be authorized before any goods are dispatched.
The sales order document should be used to produce a dispatch note for the goods outwards
department. No goods may be dispatched without a dispatch note.
