The process

When an Invoice or Credit Note is received from a Supplier for goods or services that have not been ordered from an official purchase order the Invoice or Credit note will need to enter on to the Supplier account before the payment can be made, if there is a query on the Invoice i.e., missing Order Number or GL Account the Invoice can be logged. Once the query is resolved the invoice lines can be entered. On update the invoice may require authorisation before it can be paid.
