RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Introduction to Research Methodology

Research methodology is the foundation of any research. It is a science of


studying how research is done. It means that the selection of methods should not
be arbitrary. There must be logic behind the selection of methods. It consists of
rationale of defining the problem, formulation of hypothesis methods of data
collection and adoption of particular method for collecting the data logic behind
using the particular method of data analysis and similar other questions.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem. The
present chapter portrays the research methodology used in the research work.
My internship at Shree Cement Ltd., Beawar, in the Sales Accounts Department
served as a practical learning ground for exploring and applying diverse
research methodologies. This section outlines the methodologies utilized to
examine sales and financial management practices within the organization.

Research Problem: The research aimed to assess and enhance the efficiency of
sales and accounts management processes at Shree Cement Ltd. through
rigorous data analysis and qualitative insights.

Objectives of Study:

 Analyse the effectiveness of current sales and accounts management


strategies.
 Identify areas for improvement in financial processes, particularly
transaction handling and vendor management.
 Evaluate the impact of sales schemes and securities adjustments on
financial performance.
 Assess customer satisfaction levels and their influence on sales patterns.

Research Hypothesis:

1. Hypothesis 1: Effective use of SAP software enhances transactional


transparency and improves financial decision-making.
o Rationale: SAP software is designed to streamline and integrate
financial processes, providing real-time access to transactional
data. It is hypothesized that organizations leveraging SAP
effectively will experience enhanced transparency in financial
transactions, leading to more informed decision-making processes.

18
This hypothesis suggests that improved transparency will result in
better financial control and strategic planning capabilities.
2. Hypothesis 2: Efficient management of vendor payments and
schemes positively impacts operational cash flows.
o Rationale: Efficient management of vendor payments and
implementation of sales schemes are critical to optimizing cash
flow within an organization. It is hypothesized that organizations
that effectively manage vendor relationships and strategically
implement sales schemes will experience smoother cash flow
operations. This hypothesis implies that proactive management of
payables and receivables can mitigate cash flow challenges and
contribute to financial stability and liquidity.
3. Hypothesis 3: Higher customer satisfaction correlates positively with
increased sales volume and revenue generation.
o Rationale: Customer satisfaction is a key determinant of repeat
business and customer loyalty. It is hypothesized that organizations
that prioritize and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction
will observe increased sales volume and revenue generation. This
hypothesis suggests that satisfied customers are more likely to
make repeat purchases, recommend products or services to others,
and contribute positively to overall sales performance and revenue
growth.

These hypotheses form the basis for investigating the relationships between
operational practices, customer satisfaction, and financial outcomes within the
context of sales and financial management at Shree Cement Ltd. Each
hypothesis will be tested using appropriate research methods to validate their
significance and implications for organizational performance.

Research Design and Sample Plan:

Research Design: The study utilized a mixed-methods approach to


comprehensively investigate sales and financial management practices at Shree
Cement Ltd. This approach integrated quantitative analysis of transactional data
with qualitative insights obtained through stakeholder interviews. Quantitative
analysis focused on examining transactional records from a defined period to
assess financial performance indicators, sales trends, and operational
efficiencies. Qualitative insights were gathered through structured interviews
with key personnel including sales managers, accountants, and IT specialists.
This dual approach enabled a nuanced understanding of both quantitative
metrics and qualitative factors influencing organizational processes and
outcomes.

19
Sample Plan: The sample included transactional data spanning a specific
timeframe, meticulously selected to capture varied operational scenarios and
financial transactions. This data was sourced from the company's SAP software,
ensuring accuracy and relevance in analyzing sales, purchases, receipts, and
expenses. Interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of stakeholders,
chosen for their roles in sales strategy formulation, financial management, and
IT infrastructure support. These interviews provided qualitative perspectives on
challenges, opportunities, and strategic insights related to sales and financial
management practices at Shree Cement Ltd. Together, the research design and
sample plan facilitated a comprehensive examination of factors influencing
operational effectiveness and strategic decision-making within the organization.

Limitations of Study:

 Data Limitations: The availability and completeness of historical data


posed challenges for conducting in-depth longitudinal analysis. Limited
access to comprehensive datasets restricted the depth of understanding
regarding long-term trends and patterns in sales and financial
management practices.
 Time Constraints: The internship's limited duration constrained the
scope of the study and the extent of data collection efforts. This limitation
impacted the breadth of insights that could be gathered within the
allocated timeframe.
 Resource Limitations: Access to specialized software and IT support for
data extraction and analysis presented logistical challenges. Dependence
on these resources influenced the efficiency and thoroughness of data
processing and interpretation during the study.
 Generalizability: Findings derived from the study may not be
universally applicable due to the specific context of Shree Cement Ltd.
and its industry dynamics. The unique operational environment and
market conditions of the company may limit the extent to which findings
can be extrapolated to other organizations or industries.

These limitations underscore the contextual boundaries within which the study
was conducted, highlighting potential constraints on the breadth, depth, and
applicability of the research findings.

Sales Accounting
Sales accounting refers to the process of recording, tracking, and analyzing all
financial transactions related to a company's sales activities. It involves the
systematic documentation of sales revenues, expenses, discounts, returns, and
allowances associated with the sale of goods or services.

The primary objectives of sales accounting include:

 Recording Sales Transactions: Documenting all sales transactions


accurately, including the date of sale, the amount sold, the unit price, and
any associated costs or discounts.
 Revenue Recognition: Recognizing revenue when it is earned, typically
at the point of sale or when goods are delivered or services are rendered,
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
 Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): Calculating the cost of goods sold, which
represents the direct costs incurred in producing or acquiring the goods
that were sold during a specific accounting period.
 Accounts Receivable Management: Monitoring accounts receivable
balances, tracking customer payments, and managing credit terms to
ensure timely collection of outstanding balances.
 Performance Analysis: Analysing sales data to assess the company's
performance, identify trends, measure profitability, and make informed
business decisions.

Sales accounting is essential for financial reporting, as it provides stakeholders


with accurate and reliable information about the company's sales performance,
revenue generation, and overall financial health. Effective sales accounting
practices help businesses maintain transparency, comply with regulatory
requirements, and optimize their sales processes to achieve sustainable growth.

The Sales Accounts Department at SCL (Shree Cement Limited) plays a pivotal
role in managing the financial transactions related to sales across various
manufacturing plants located in different states. As I‟m responsible for
Accounts Payables (AP), Reconciliation, Intercontrol, and Security Updating,
my tasks likely involve ensuring timely payments to suppliers, reconciling
accounts to maintain accuracy, managing internal controls to prevent fraud or
errors, and updating security measures to safeguard financial data.

The Head Office is located in Beawar, all bills and operational workings are
centralized there. This centralization likely streamlines the approval process,

39
enhances consistency in financial management, and allows for better monitoring
and control over sales-related finances.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES (AR)

41
Accounts Receivable (AR)

Accounts receivable refers to the money owed to a company by its customers


for goods or services rendered on credit. It represents a company's right to
receive payment from its customers in the future for sales that have already
been made.
Accounts receivable are a vital aspect of a company's working capital and cash
flow management. They reflect the amount of money that the company is
expecting to receive from its customers within a certain period, usually ranging
from a few days to several months, depending on the terms of sale. Managing
accounts receivable effectively is crucial for maintaining a healthy cash flow
and ensuring the company's financial stability.

COLLECTIONS

It typically refers to the process of gathering or retrieving payments owed by


customers or clients. In a business context, it specifically pertains to the activity
of pursuing and securing payment for outstanding invoices or debts.

 Pursuing Payments: Collections involve actively reaching out to


customers who have overdue invoices or outstanding debts to remind
them of their obligations and encourage them to make payments.

 Communication: It often involves communication through various


channels such as phone calls, emails, letters, or even in-person visits to
discuss payment arrangements, resolve disputes, or negotiate settlements.

 Tracking and Monitoring: Collections also entail tracking and


monitoring the status of outstanding accounts receivable, including
keeping records of payment histories, tracking payment promises, and
documenting any communications with customers regarding payment.

 Problem Resolution: Collections may also involve addressing any issues


or disputes that arise regarding invoicing, pricing, or the quality &
quantity of goods or services rendered, with the aim of resolving them in
a manner that facilitates payment.

 Legal Action: In some cases, if efforts to collect payment through


standard methods prove unsuccessful, collections may escalate to legal

42
action, such as sending demand letters, engaging debt collection agencies,
or pursuing legal remedies through the courts.

Overall, collections play a crucial role in ensuring the financial stability and
liquidity of a business by facilitating the timely receipt of payments owed,
reducing the risk of bad debts, and preserving cash flow. Effective collections
practices involve a combination of proactive communication, diligent tracking
and monitoring, and, when necessary, assertive action to secure payment from
customers.

43
SCHEMES

Schemes, also known as rebates, refer to promotional strategies implemented by


businesses to incentivize purchases or payments. These schemes typically
involve offering discounts, cashback, or other benefits to customers in exchange
for specific actions or behaviors.

SCHEMES

CASH INCENTIVES CRN KIND


DISCOUNTS

• Reduce from bills • Billing discount • Monthly • Tours

• Credit Notes Issue • Plant discounts • Short term • Bullion

• Yearly • Meeting

• Party Specific

• Quarterly

Cash Discounts:

Cash discounts are incentives offered by sellers to buyers to encourage prompt


payment of invoices.

Cash discounts are a way for sellers to motivate buyers to pay their invoices
earlier than the agreed-upon payment terms. They are typically expressed as a
percentage discount off the total invoice amount or as a specific dollar amount.
For example, a common cash discount term might be "2/10, net 30," which
means that a 2% discount is offered if payment is made within 10 days,
otherwise, the full amount is due within 30 days.

44
How They Work:

1. Reduce from Bills: When a buyer takes advantage of a cash discount,


they deduct the discount amount from the total invoice before making the
payment. For instance, if an invoice is ₹1,000 with a 2% cash discount,
the buyer would pay only ₹980 (₹1,000 - ₹20 discount).
2. Credit Notes Issue: If a buyer returns goods or is granted allowances
after taking advantage of a cash discount, the seller issues a credit note to
adjust the amount owed by the buyer. This ensures that the buyer doesn't
receive a discount on goods they're returning or for which they're
receiving a credit.

Benefits and Considerations:

 Benefits for Buyers: Cash discounts provide an opportunity for buyers to


reduce their purchasing costs and improve cash flow by paying invoices
early.
 Benefits for Sellers: Sellers benefit from improved cash flow and
reduced accounts receivable balances, as well as stronger relationships
with buyers who appreciate the opportunity to save money through early
payment.
 Managing Discounts: Businesses must carefully manage cash discounts
to ensure they're accurately applied and recorded. Accounting systems
should track discounts taken by buyers and monitor their impact on
revenue and cash flow.
 Impact on Profitability: While cash discounts can improve cash flow
and customer relationships, they also reduce the overall revenue earned
on sales. Therefore, businesses must weigh the benefits of early payment
against the potential loss of revenue from offering discounts.

In summary, cash discounts are a valuable tool for both buyers and sellers to
improve cash flow and foster mutually beneficial relationships. However, they
require careful management to ensure accuracy and minimize their impact on
profitability.

45
Actual Working of Cash Discounts:

46
Incentives
Incentives refer to rewards or benefits offered to encourage certain actions,
behaviours, or outcomes. These rewards can take various forms, such as
monetary bonuses, discounts, prizes, recognition, or other perks. Incentives are
commonly used in business, education, healthcare, and other contexts to
motivate individuals or groups to achieve specific goals, improve performance,
or engage in desired activities.

Two common types of incentives in business transactions are billing discounts


and plant discounts.

1. Billing Discounts

Billing discounts, also known as cash discounts or trade discounts, are


reductions in the price of goods or services offered to customers for prompt
payment of invoices. These discounts are typically expressed as a percentage off
the total invoice amount or as a specific dollar amount. For example, a business
might offer a 2% discount if payment is made within 10 days of the invoice date
(e.g., "2/10, net 30").

2. Plant Discounts

Plant discounts, also known as volume discounts or quantity discounts, are price
reductions offered to customers for purchasing goods or services in large
quantities or volumes. These discounts are based on the quantity or volume of
goods purchased and are often tiered, with higher discounts applied to larger
order quantities.

In summary, billing discounts and plant discounts are effective incentives used
by businesses to drive sales, improve cash flow, and enhance customer
relationships. By offering discounts for prompt payment and bulk purchases,
businesses can incentivize desired behaviors among customers while also
maximizing their own profitability and competitiveness in the market.

47
CREDIT NOTE (CRN)

A "Credit Note" typically refers to a document issued by a seller to a buyer,


indicating that the seller is crediting the buyer's account for a certain amount.
This credit is often issued in response to various situations, such as returns of
goods, overpayments, pricing adjustments, or other discrepancies in
transactions.

 Monthly Credit Note:

Monthly credit notes are issued by businesses to reflect adjustments,


corrections, or refunds for transactions that occur within a specific month.

Explanation: These credit notes are particularly useful for businesses that
provide ongoing services or subscriptions, where the billing cycle operates on a
monthly basis. They help ensure accurate financial records by accounting for
any changes or discrepancies that may arise during the month.

 Short Term Credit Note:

Short term credit notes are issued for a brief period, typically for transactions or contracts
with a short duration.

Explanation: Businesses may issue short term credit notes for various reasons, such as
temporary discounts, adjustments for short-duration projects, or corrections for errors
discovered in a short-term timeframe. These credit notes help maintain transparency and
accuracy in financial transactions, even for short-lived agreements.

 Quarterly Credit Note:

Quarterly credit notes are issued every three months, summarizing adjustments
or corrections for transactions occurring within that quarterly period.

Explanation: Quarterly credit notes provide a structured way to account for


changes or corrections over a longer period compared to monthly credit notes.
They are particularly useful for businesses with slower transaction cycles or
those that prefer to review and reconcile transactions on a quarterly basis.

 Yearly Credit Note:

Yearly credit notes are issued annually, summarizing adjustments or corrections


for transactions over the course of the year.

Explanation: Yearly credit notes offer a comprehensive overview of


adjustments made throughout the entire fiscal year. They are essential for

48
annual financial reporting, tax purposes, and auditing. Yearly credit notes help
ensure that financial records accurately reflect all transactions and adjustments
made during the year.

 Party Specific Credit Note:

Party specific credit notes are specific to a particular party or customer,


reflecting adjustments, corrections, or refunds related to their transactions.

Explanation: Businesses issue party specific credit notes to address individual


customer accounts or specific transactions. These credit notes may be issued for
various reasons, such as billing errors, returned merchandise, or customer
refunds. By issuing party specific credit notes, businesses can ensure accurate
accounting and maintain positive relationships with their customers.

Overall, each type of credit note serves a distinct purpose, whether it's to
address short-term transactions, provide periodic summaries, or cater to specific
parties or customers. By understanding these differences, businesses can
effectively manage their financial transactions and maintain transparency and
accuracy in their records.

49
PROVISIONS

In sales accounting, "provisions" typically refer to estimated future expenses or


liabilities that a company anticipates but has not yet incurred or paid. These
provisions are set aside or recognized in the financial statements to ensure that
the company accurately reflects its financial position and performance.

Provisions are accounting entries that represent anticipated expenses or


liabilities. They are recorded when there is uncertainty about the timing or
amount of future payments but it is probable that a liability exists.

Purpose:

 Provisions serve to ensure that financial statements accurately reflect the


company's financial position by accounting for potential future
obligations.
 They help match expenses to the periods in which they are incurred,
aligning with the accrual accounting principle.

Provisions related to sales accounts would involve recording and managing the
financial transactions associated with sales, commissions, and related expenses.
Here are the main provisions:

1. Sales Revenue Recognition:


 Sales revenue should be recognized when the products are
delivered to customers and the risks and rewards of ownership
have been transferred, typically upon shipment or delivery.
2. Commission Payable:
 Commissions payable to sales promoters, handling agents, and
other third parties should be recorded as liabilities in the sales
accounts.
 These commissions are accrued based on the terms of the
agreements with the respective parties.
3. Meeting Expenses:
 Meeting expenses incurred by sales promoters, handling agents, or
other employees should be recorded as expenses in the sales
accounts.
 These expenses could include travel costs, accommodation, meals,
and other related expenditures.
4. Handling Charges:

50
 Expenses related to handling activities, such as road handling
charges, rail handling charges, warehouse expenses, loading and
unloading charges, and electricity bills, should be recorded in the
sales accounts.
 Payments made to handling agents for managing warehouses and
godowns should also be accounted for.
5. Secondary Freight:
 Costs associated with secondary freight, i.e., transportation from
warehouses to distribution centers or customers, should be
recorded as expenses in the sales accounts.
6. Documentation and Audit Trail:
 Proper documentation and maintenance of an audit trail for all
sales transactions, commissions, and related expenses are essential
for transparency and accountability.

By adhering to these provisions, the company can accurately report its sales
performance, liabilities, and expenses in the sales accounts, providing
stakeholders with reliable financial information.

51
INTERCONTROL

It is a type of Adjustment tool of transactions of vendors and Dealers in SCL.

Now In this first we need to know about SALES PROMOTOER (SP)

Sales Promoters (SP): These are the Dealers as well as Vnedor. SCL cannot
deal with every Party directly it deals with sales promoters to sell their products
because SCL is large group of company and it is very hard to deal with small
dealer in every state.
So they appoint Sale promoters with a minimum Securities with company, who
can deals with every dealers directly and order cement for them in bulk.
It can also be a dealer or sale promoter. The SCL liable on this promoter for
their sale. For this they charges commission which have to pay by SCL in sales
accounts .
Sales promoters are representatives of the company, working to drive sales and
increase customer interest in the company's offerings.

Now SP have two balances in ACCOUNTS PAYABLES(AP) as well as


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES(AR).

In AP it charges commission for sales of goods and services which have to


pay by SCL .

So, if SP's AR balance may be insufficient to cover the commissions owed. In


such cases, the company may opt to transfer the AP balance to the AR balance
of a dealer, effectively converting AP to AR.

Similarly, there are instances where the company needs to transfer AR balances
between different entities, such as from SP to customers or dealers (AR to AR).
This process ensures that outstanding balances are accurately reflected and
settled within the organization's financial ecosystem.

SECURITY UPDATION

There are minimum security balance requirements set for different entities
within the sales chain. Sales promoters (SP) are required to maintain a
minimum security balance of 20 lakhs, dealers must maintain 50 thousand, and
retailers must maintain 5 thousand.

If an entity's security balance falls below the prescribed minimum, the company
has the option to increase the security balance from their regular or advance
balance. This means that if a sales promoter, dealer, or retailer's security balance
drops below the specified threshold, they may be required to deposit additional
funds to meet the minimum requirement.

These security balances act as a form of assurance or collateral for the company
and help mitigate risks associated with the sales process. By ensuring that each
entity maintains a minimum security balance, the company can safeguard
against potential losses and maintain financial stability within its sales network.

It can be done in SAP Software through Following steps:

 Check ledger of Dealer/Retailer/SP (FBL5N)


 Security update in T-Code (F-30)
 Document date(Present Date) Type: DA
 Company code : 1000 (SCL)

CHAPTER-8

ACCOUNTS PAYABLES (AP)

56
Accounts Payable (AP)

Accounts payable refers to the amount of money that a company owes to its
suppliers or vendors for goods or services received on credit. It represents a
company's obligation to pay off its short-term debts to its creditors.

Accounts payable are a significant component of a company's working capital


and financial obligations. They include payments due for inventory purchases,
utilities, rent, and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business.
Managing accounts payable efficiently is essential for maintaining good
relationships with suppliers, optimizing cash flow, and avoiding late payment
penalties. Efficient management of accounts payable also involves taking
advantage of discounts for early payments whenever possible to reduce costs for
the company.

 Concept of Sales promotion and Handling Activities

Sales Promoters (SP): These are the Dealers as well as Agent


supervisor. SCL cannot deal with every Party directly it deals with sales
promoters to sell their products because SCL is large group of company
and it is very hard to deal with small dealer in every state.
So they appoint Sale promoters with a minimum Securities with
company, who can deals with every dealers directly and order cement for
them in bulk.
It can also be a dealer or sale promoter.
The SCL liable on this promoter for their sale. For this they charges
commission which have to pay by SCL in sales accounts .

Sales promoters are representatives of the company, working to drive


sales and increase customer interest in the company's offerings.

Handling Agents (HA): In every state and district SCL have their
Godowns and warehouses for Stock.
The charges of warehouses, Godowns, Loading & unloading charges ,
warehouse expenses , electricity bill all these expenses are comes under
handling charges so these all expenses are paid by SCL to Handling
Agents who take care the Godowns.
It can also be a dealer or Handling agent(HA). . For this they charges
commission which have to pay by SCL .

CHAPTER-12

CONCLUSION

Conclusion

My internship journey at Shree Cement Ltd., Beawar, has been an enlightening


experience, allowing me to delve deep into the intricate world of sales
accounting. Throughout my tenure, I've gained hands-on experience in
managing bills across four states – Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand
– meticulously handling various aspects such as quantity, rates, tax categories,
and invoice details.

Utilizing SAP software, I've efficiently managed the processing and clearance
of bills, ensuring accuracy and compliance with company standards.
Additionally, I've diligently monitored GST/PAN numbers, distinguishing
between individuals and companies for taxation purposes.

Furthermore, I've actively participated in organizing and overseeing


promotional events such as counter meets, mason meets, engineer meets, dealer
meets, and customer guidance camps, contributing to the company's sales
strategies and brand promotion efforts.

Despite encountering challenges, I've embraced them as opportunities for


growth, continuously learning and refining my skills with the unwavering
support and guidance of my supervisors and colleagues.
