Suggestions - billing software should be amended so that once an bill is entered in the software it can only be edited by reversing the bill after taking proper authorizations.

Auditing portion - audit all the transactions for a month. there in you will be able to form a particular pattern by which you can track suh transcations. Also frequent customers/ related parties should be also checked for such extended favours.

while scanning the product from the scanner and making a bill, time difference must be there, ask if any system modification can be done to know when the product was scanned and when bill was raised,
if the products are billed as soon as they are scanned then chances of any discrepencies are minimum, and vice versa
