Office, and the blue to be retained for the branch files While the bookkeeper is posting from the blue copies to the ledger, a typist can make up form "B" from the yellow copies. To assure accuracy: obtain the aggregate of your in-j voices posted to your ledger from the blue copies, and com] pare this total with the one shown on form "B" which was prepared from the yellow copies. The two figures should^ agree, which will prove that all charges posted to the ledger are also in the group to be forwarded to the Home Office at! the end of the week. Occasionally it has been necessary f 01 the Hoime Office; to inquire about missing bills, which would have been discovered if the above procedure had been followed. If you have to check the postings of your ledger, you should do so against your copy of form "B." The invoices which accompany form "B" must be ar ranged in the same order as they are listed on the form anc fastened together with a staple. Form UB" being a form for all charges, except acces sories, it is obvious that only those CREDITS may be listec thereon that pertain to the same class of charges. All Credits are to be grouped on form "B" after the charges have been listed, showing the number of the credi memo, the key number of the account, and the number o the production credited whenever the credit applies to fil rentals. It is unnecessary to show the name and location of the theatres. After listing the charges and credits, prepare a summary at the bottom of form "B" showing the total of the charges, less the total credits, which net figure will be entered on form "A." FORM "C" All accessory invoices are sorted alphabetically according to key numbers on Thursday of each week by the bookkeeper. He then separates the yellow and pink copies, for Home Office and branch use respectively, posting to the ledger direct from the pink copies, while form "C" is made, up at the same time from the yellow copies by a typist. The total of the charges appearing on form "C" will be; checked by the bookkeeper against the aggregate of the pink invoices in the same manner as described for film posting. —22—
