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
They are saying that control over purchase invoice should be estabilised as soon as they are received by writing a sequential number on them. Subsequently you can check if all the invoices have been accounted for by ensuring the number sequence is complete.
I just think it is odd that these are put in a file numbered but not recorded. If someone took one out of the file there is no record of it.
That number would then be missing, wouldn’t it?So, they would know that something had gone wrong.
