Define the target outcome
Purchases, sales, rates and collections are recorded separately. The goal is to link trading transactions with stock and receivables. Write down who will use the system or design, what successful completion looks like and the smallest useful first release.
Before configuration or design begins
Collect current sample forms, identifiers, printouts, brand assets and approval rules. Work through the steps in their real order, so that a later stage does not depend on information that was never recorded.

Assign owners to each stage. Prepare backup or restoration instructions if data is involved; confirm editing rights, realistic mobile behavior and the procedure for correcting an incorrect entry. For websites and videos, preview on the devices and platforms your audience actually uses.
After launch
Review order to collection cycle, support queries and outstanding change requests at regular intervals. A practical checklist becomes valuable only when someone signs off the results.
