Working with sources of origin and contracts requires an analysis of the key points affecting the correct reflection of transactions in accounting.
How to Approach the Issue
Before making a decision on a specific situation, it is necessary to understand the main points that determine how to properly execute and reflect the documents:
- clarify which source of origin is indicated or should be indicated in the documents;
- check the terms and content of the contract on the basis of which the transaction is carried out;
- compare the contract data with the documents actually reflected in the accounting to avoid discrepancies.
Only after these points have been clarified can you move forward — process the documents in the system, make adjustments, or clarify the data with the counterparty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should be done if the data in the contract does not match what is reflected in the documents?
It is necessary to understand the reason for the discrepancy — compare the terms of the contract with the documents actually executed, and if necessary, clarify the data with the counterparty or make corrections.
What should be given priority attention when working with sources of origin?
The key points related to the source itself and to the terms of the contract — their analysis helps to avoid errors in further document processing.
