INVOICE DOCUMENT REVIEW · Workflow idea
Collect invoice documents, organize the supplier and line-item details, and check required fields and arithmetic. Keep unreadable, incomplete, or inconsistent documents in a visible exception queue for finance review.
01 / The starting point
A PDF invoice placed in the agreed review collection
“Extract the available invoice header and line-item details, check required information and subtotal consistency, and prepare a structured record with unclear items flagged.”
02 / The work
Organizes invoice information into structured fields, checks required details and subtotal arithmetic, and separates exceptions for a person to investigate.
Gather the PDFs from the agreed intake location and keep each document associated with its processing outcome.
Organize available supplier, invoice, date, amount, tax, and line-item information into a consistent record.
Identify missing or unreadable fields that prevent a reliable invoice record.
Compare the available line-item amounts with the stated subtotal and flag mismatches rather than silently correcting them.
Group documents by whether they passed the configured checks, need finance review, or could not be read.
Record the number of processed, review-needed, and unreadable documents for the finance owner.
03 / The result
A per-invoice spreadsheet record and batch summary, with documents grouped by whether details passed checks, need review, or could not be read.
