How to manage original documents

An important aspect of managing original paper documents is a filing method that makes it easy to retrieve the right document at the right time.
It is important to establish certain rules for filing in order to increase productivity.Typical filing rules are listed below.

Typical rules for filing

There are various options for filing rules depending on the nature of your business.

  • File based on year/date
  • File by document type (contract, receipt, invoice, etc.)
  • File by job content
  • File each case individually

Furthermore, if you combine rules, such as setting large rules for storage areas such as cabinets, and then setting smaller rules for storage, it will be easier to organize and store items.

Precautions for storage

Security is important when managing original paper documents.

  • Are there any rules or manuals for the personnel who will store the items?
  • Is the storage location locked and safe?
  • Are disaster countermeasures in place, such as fireproof safes and heat- and water-resistant cabinets?

Please pay special attention to the above three points.

However, it is important to note that just because you have scanned the original paper document does not mean that you can immediately destroy it. (Electronic bookkeeping law related National Tax Agency)
As a general rule, it is preferable to keep the paper originals for which there is a legal retention period.
