| I do my own bookwork, but have a tendency to procrastinate (not on paying bills but on journal entries, etc) and my Dad does a lot of picking stuff up here and there for me. Anytime I book something, I either get a contract or make a note of the cost agreed on and file that. When I pick it up, I always get a receiver and file that separate. Then when the bill comes, I mate the three and staple them together. If I'm missing one or the numbers don't match I address it.
On the grain side I do the same thing. I keep a spreadsheet with all of my sales, whether cash or forward contracted. I keep a copy of delivery tickets and then get a settlement sheet. Each piece has a separate file. I mate the 3 and check them together. It works here. I'm kinda scatterbrained so having documents for all of this helps a ton. Usually the bottom of each tray is the oldest chronologically and it doesn't take long to match stuff up if you have it. | |
