Summary
Sales invoice record clerks handle a series of clerical tasks from receiving sales invoices to recording, organizing, and filing them in retail and wholesale businesses.
Description
Sales invoice record clerks handle sales invoices in stores or offices, from receiving to recording, classifying, aggregating, checking for defects, filing, storing, and disposing. They perform data entry using dedicated systems or Excel, and may reconcile numbers, make corrections, and handle inquiries from related departments. The work centers on simple routine tasks, but requires accuracy and speed where errors are not tolerated. In recent years, efficiency has improved with RPA and ERP introductions, but many sites still rely heavily on manual invoice processing.
Future Outlook
Due to advances in operational digitalization and automation (RPA), demand for manual invoice processing is declining. However, small and medium-sized enterprises and retail stores still rely heavily on manual processing, with stable demand expected.
