Tell me about your workflow when you have remote accounting staff!

We are working to streamline our paperwork and overall workflow so we can easily hire remote staff.   What we do works when everyone is in one building and I'm trying to get my head around the best practices when there are remote accounting and admin staff.

How do you manage your workflow to fill drop ship orders, manage orders that are filled both in house and drop ship, and match up PO's to the vendors invoice?

What tools and processes are you using?

thank you!

  • We will scan the packing lists each day and email them to the remote staff.  Once the receiving is done, they will print and pdf the Receipt Of Goods Register.  The printed report is printed to the A/P department's printer so they know the receivers have been posted.  A/P retains the packing list to match up with the invoice.
