Distribution system for press institutions
General description of the nature of the system :
This system deals with the distribution of printed matter through a contracting company specialized in distribution. The structure of this system is considered as one customer who purchases a total amount of the number issued under the principle of disbursement. The sale process and movement is completed by knowing and recording the returned quantity of this number. This system provides two financial policies in terms of the method of billing this number.

The first policy is to issue an invoice upon delivery of the quantities to the distributed company, which is carried forward as an accounting entry separate from the return voucher upon receipt of the returned quantity, which translates into another accounting entry that reduces sales. The second policy is to issue one invoice after receiving the return issued by it. A single and automatic accounting entry.
