You are Sarineh, a new Accounts Receivable Clerk for Robinson Paper Supply. Toward the end of the month, Joseph Lee, a very personable sales associate tells you that the previous A/R clerk always recorded a sales invoice when he got a verbal agreement from a customer to buy paper supplies. He has a verbal order from his favorite customer for $5,000 of paper and wants you to create a sales invoice today.

You know that in order to create a sales invoice you need a purchase order from the customer. You also know that Mr. Lee receives a monthly bonus based on the monthly sales. If his sales are above $10,000, he gets a 10% bonus.

Would you agree to record the sales of products before receiving the purchase order from the customer? What effect would it have on the customer, on the sales associate, on the Company, and on the job?
