Incomplete Invoices? Sample Letter Gets Suppliers in Line
March 2003
Don’t you love those vendors who send invoices with no identifying information as to who ordered
the goods or whether there was an associated purchase order? While a small percentage of these invoices
are fraudulent, most are from legitimate suppliers who simply have poor billing policies. These policies
translate into more work for the accounts payable departments that receive these poorly formatted invoices.
A growing number of companies are drawing a line in the sand by refusing to process invoices
lacking certain basic data.
