## Working principle
Start with the correct customer, job, shipment order, or approved non-job purpose.
Carry the job or document reference into charges, vouchers, bills, invoices, payments, receipts, and reports.
Saving preserves a draft. Approval authorizes the transaction. Posting makes it effective in the relevant ledger or downstream process.
Resolve open charges, invoices, bills, advances, settlements, and allocations before closing the job or period.
Do not use another employee's account, post a payment before it occurs, or close a job or period with unresolved transactions.
