In AMODIT, outgoing correspondence handling covers creation, approval, registration, and dispatch. The system automatically assigns unique numbers according to the organization’s numbering pattern.
3What are the rules for registering correspondence?
Correspondence registration should clearly identify a document and enable its subsequent workflow to be tracked.
