I have to pay writers per article. I cannot pay them until their total
reaches a set amount. Then I send accounting a request to pay. Right now I
just keep typing their info into excel, which means that I retype their name,
new article name, words, price, when each issue comes out, then I put them in
abc order, then I total them up on my own if they look like they might be up
to the set amount.

But I keep thinking there has to be a better way to do this. Any ideas?
