PoP

When I receive an account From ‘A Somebody’, next thing they want PoP. The emphasis is then on me to supply further information which, is often sent with the payment. They take no account of payment for: • My time • Use of my equipment • Use of my computer • Sometimes stationary • Visit to the bank/etc. Often the company/person sending the email can’t be bother to follow their accounting system and its made easier for them by sending a PoP request. I don’t recall this PoP system in any other country except herein SA. In one case when I asked for payment to comply with their PoP they ‘threatened credit restrictions’, whatever that meant. It’s never done graciously only ever threatening. Isn’t it about time to terminate this practice? Even make it illegitimate.
