Distribution companies have a specific structure and functions that require proper organization of accounting for product flows, warehousing, transportation, and sales of goods to end consumers. At the same time, methods of accounting and sales control play an important role, which allow ensuring data accuracy, minimizing financial risks and increasing consumer satisfaction. The article analyzes the peculiarities of the activities of distribution companies. The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and methodological principles and the development of practical recommendations for improving the information and analytical support for accounting for sales activities of distribution enterprises. In conditions of constantly growing competition in the market of goods and services, an important factor in the successful functioning of distribution enterprises is effective accounting and analysis of sales activities. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to ensure timely and accurate collection, processing, and analysis of data related to the sale of goods. This will allow making informed management decisions, increasing the efficiency of enterprises, and optimizing business processes. The main stages of the sales process are characterized and based on them a list of stages of sales activities of distribution enterprises is proposed. The author proposes a scheme of information and analytical support for the management of sales activities of distribution enterprises, the central object of which is information. It is also determined that high-quality information and analytical support for accounting of sales activities of distribution enterprises is impossible without a properly organized documentation process. In order to improve documentation, a list of forms of primary documents for accounting for the sales activities of distribution enterprises has been identified. However, the gaps identified in the article in the existing system of documentary reflection of transactions related to the sale of goods in the accounting of distribution enterprises necessitated the development of a Report on the shipment and sale of goods for distribution enterprises, which is a document that combines information from primary documents.
