I don’t quite understand purchase invoice numbers being sequentially numbered?
Does this refer to the transaction reference number when input onto an accounts package?In this question it seems to mean putting a number on the invoices when put in a folder before they are input? Somehow this deficiency leads to an invoice not being paid on time but I don’t understand this. It wouldn’t get paid if not on the system, how is it due to not having a sequential number on it? If you noticed an invoice was missing you wouldn’t know where it came from to request a copy of it.
Perhaps I have misunderstood this, please can you explain it to me?
Thanks
