Post a three-way match before paying an invoice

Practice the sequence you already learned for “Post a three-way match before paying an invoice” until the order feels automatic. Drill the three-way-match order from AP / SOX training. The invoice is not scheduled for payment until PO, receipt, and invoice agree.

1. Match the invoice to the purchase order.
2. Match quantities to the receiving report or service acceptance.
3. Investigate price, quantity, or tax variances against the tolerance.
4. Route exceptions to the buyer or receiver.
5. Do not short-pay silently.
6. Schedule payment only after the match or an approved exception.
7. Retain the match packet for the control sample.
