Before starting the process, preliminary data collection should be completed.
The shared google sheet file stores all data for credit claim processing. Best practice is to check the file every week to ensure that the data is up to date and follow-up on the missing payments.
Access the google sheet via this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sCS5hEYtx0Uliks_jNZy14sirpyFV6Ew/edit#gid=15679599
Click the sheet named Woolworths and you will see a table with a list of all outstanding invoices, SOA means partially paid.
Gather the data from Zoho Books overdue receivables. In green box are SOAs and in red box are Unpaid invoices.
We need to gather 3 sets of documents, Invoice Copy, POD, and SOA for those with SOA status.
Invoice Copies are gathered from the Woolworths Axis Portal: https://axiscloudplatform.com/SupplierPortal/ and see the screenshot below to download the PDF copies.
Local PODs are stored physically in the shop. Ask Bev and Steph to send scanned copies to you and collect them.
Interstate PODs come from Cool Couriers and Cool Fast.
Once you have a copy of the POD, highlight the invoice in Darker Yellow tone to acknowledge that you have the POD. Store the POD in local drive for easier access with file name "POD XXXXXXX".
Gather SOA copies. Search for the invoice number via email. Select "STMY OF ADJMTS" then open the PDF and make sure to save the correct SOA document for the invoice. Sometimes it has 2 pages, so please save all pages necessary for the invoice. Save as "SOA XXXXXXX" in your local drive for easy access.
