‘’Source documents are the business forms that document all financial
transactions of a business from buying a chair to selling a pencil. Business
forms include purchase orders, receipts, and invoices. The actual specifics of
business forms used by companies vary greatly. Some companies require an

Quotation
The purpose of the quotation is for the seller to offer the goods to the buyer. It
includes the quantity of the goods, prices and other description and details of
