Answer 2

Advantages

Alphabetical filing systems are one type of system that is easy to teach and learn. Documents are filed in alphabetical order typically by vendor name. Any employee can find a needed document as long as the vendor name is known.

Disadvantages

One disadvantage of this system is that documents are frequently misfiled because of the letters. Another disadvantage is that if something is filed under a vendor first name versus last name, documents are difficult to locate. Name changes in companies may not be recorded properly which also causes confusion with this filing system.
