Sales record: a dated note of every sale
A sales record is a dated note of what was sold, whether an animal, a product or a quantity, along with the buyer, the agreed price and the amount paid. It keeps the terms of each sale on file, gives the farm a clear income history and ties the sale to any money still owed.
What belongs in a sales record?
For example, on 12 May you sell two lambs to a neighbour at an agreed price per kilogram of live weight. The sales record holds the lambs' tag numbers, the total due and the first payment, so the balance still owed shows up with your receivables.
Questions from the farm
Is a sales record the same as an invoice?
No. An invoice goes to the buyer, while the sales record is the farm's own note that keeps the sale in its accounts.
