Okay... I work at an advertising agency. We make ads. I work in the Finance dept, where I process costs we incur in the production of said ads. We then bill the client for reimbursement and commission.
Our top client is about to have its Fiscal Year End. Panic ensues here at the office. Insanity abounds.
Today... A sample of the crap we in Finance are having to deal with on top of the mad crunch of numbers...
Just what part of "I haven’t input anything yet that I just recently received." is not clear???????

Hi,
I do want to come by again and see the job folders for 95296 & 85201 to verify the invoices that made it in time. Could you also provide me exception reports for them too?
Thank you,
Me:
I haven’t input anything yet that I just recently received.
Her:
Oh, but it would be on the job folder right?
Me:
Not if it has not yet been processed. The job jacket displays items paid. There may be open POs on the jacket, but no dollar amounts are entered until an invoice has been paid.
Her:
I see, so do we wait until the client pays before we pay the invoices?
Me:
The client can’t pay for it until we pay the vendor and then bill the client.
Approved invoices do not automatically show up in the computer system. Someone has to input the info. In this case, that person is me. I haven’t done that yet, since I only just got the invoices.
