01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A newly recorded online or point-of-sale purchase that may need a finance record

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a store and finance team prepare sales records from new purchases without re-entering order details by hand.

  1. Review a new purchase

    Confirm the source purchase, its status, and whether it is an online order or a point-of-sale transaction.

  2. Match the purchase to the right customer

    Compare reliable customer and billing details, and send uncertain or duplicate matches to a person to resolve.

  3. Prepare the proposed sales record

    Organize the approved items, quantities, prices, discounts, and tax details in the format expected by the finance team.

  4. Reconcile amounts and record type

    Check the order or invoice choice, currency, tax treatment, discounts, and final total against the original purchase and business rules.

  5. Approve before posting or contacting the customer

    Require an authorized finance or operations reviewer to approve the exact record before it is posted, issued, or used for a customer message.

  6. Confirm the outcome and exceptions

    Compare the approved record with the source purchase and keep held, rejected, or incomplete purchases visible for follow-up.

03 / The result

Something useful.

The handoff

A review-ready sales order or invoice linked to its source purchase, with posting and customer communication held until an authorized person approves the details.

Keep in mind

A purchase can be incomplete, duplicated, or matched to the wrong customer, and tax or discount errors can affect financial records. Reconcile the source purchase and all amounts; require an authorized person to approve the exact record before posting, invoicing, or sending a customer update.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible purchases

Define which purchase types and statuses are in scope and how cancellations, refunds, and repeat updates are handled.

Agree on customer and sales fields

Document the matching details and the approved item, tax, discount, currency, and invoice rules.

Assign finance and operations reviewers

Name who confirms customer matches and totals, who may post a record, and who approves any customer communication.

Test representative purchases

Check an online order, a point-of-sale purchase, a duplicate, a discount, and a tax exception, ensuring nothing is posted before approval.
