Signs You Have a Double Entry Problem (Even With Acumatica Field Service)

- !Errors show up weeks later on invoices
- !Techs complain the paperwork takes longer than the job
The Cost of Leaving This Gap Open
Every instance of double entry costs $4–$12 in labor and error correction [1] (consistent with the industry 1-10-100 data quality standard). At 50 jobs/week that is $10K–$30K/year in pure waste [2].
