Required:
Use Microsoft Excel to prepare a sales journal with appropriate column headings. Enter the relevant information from the preceding sales order into your spreadsheet.
In addition to completing the spreadsheet, write a brief paper that explains the following:
- What is the purpose of a sales order form and a sales journal?
- What controls are needed in the sales process?
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
- Two to three pages (500-750 words) in length (not including title and reference pages)
- Formatted according to APA guidelines as explained in the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA (subheadings, 1“ margins, and double spacing)
- Supported by two credible, academic sources in addition to the textbook. Academic sources should be located using the CSU-Global library. All paraphrased and quoted material must be properly cited per APA guidelines; only cited sources should be listed on the reference page.
Write clearly and logically, as you will be graded on content, analysis, and your adherence to the tenets of good academic writing, which should be succinct where possible while also exploring the topics appropriately. Scholarly sources should be cited and integrated to bolster your own assertions and to supplement your ideas.
Submit both the spreadsheet and the paper by the posted due date. Review the rubric in the Module 4 Materials folder for specific grading criteria.
