Controls for Order Processing in a Paper-Based Environment

The main issue with these controls is to ensure that incoming orders are as clean as possible. In some cases, the customer expects to have something shipped to them right away and that may not happen because you don't have the inventory on hand. The person taking the order has to review the open accounts receivables report to see if the limit has been exceeded. Or they have to pay down their existing receivable balance with a company before they can order anything else.
