CREDIT CUSTOMERS

Transactions with our credit customers are guided by the credit


control policy of the Company. A system Pro forma invoice/Quote is
raised by the sales person.

criteria set by the MD/CEO.

to all invoices generated would be raised to cancel such invoice

the Sales team and forwarded to finance department for receipting
