We started to introduce you to exception management https://faoblog.com/processes-ap-exception-management/

As I mentioned that exception management may take different paths based on the type of transaction. The key transaction types that we will cover now are invoice processing, travel & entertainment and vendor management.

What are the various exception types that come into play? The list cannot ever be exhaustive, so I have covered some below:

We can classify exceptions in 2 groups.

  • Those that are not rule based
    • Illegible invoice
    • Need to rescan
    • Illegible fields
    • Invalid fields
    • Missing mandatory fields
    • Not Approved / Approval issues
    • Receipt not endorsed
    • No Audit Stamp
