This week I have received by email (from two different customers):
- a printed and scanned version (as PDF) of a quotation that I produced (as PDF)
- a printed and scanned version (as PDF) of a purchase order generated from a spreadsheet
I wonder if I should print the purchase order out so that I can scan it and reference it from the invoice...

Heh. Empire Stores' internet orders used to get emailed to an admin person who printed them off and put them on a pile with all the regular orders, but with a special order code to mark them as being from t'internet, then the pile of orders was taken to the data entry people for typing in to the orders database.
ReplyDeleteWe have worked it out that it's almost sensible.
ReplyDelete1. Single/unified point of entry for massive digital/indexed archive of all paperwork.
2. Signature.
(I hope)
Yeah, it's not completely batty when you factor in the historical factors, and this was the late '90s when t'internet was a bit newfangled and not necessarily going to catch on. But from the purely techie standpoint it did seem rather a lot of unnecessary work!
