Sales Receipt Versus Invoice Route Check

Check whether each sale routed to a sales receipt or an invoice correctly, based on payment timing. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

For each sale, whether payment was received at the time of sale and which document was used.

How it works

1. Record whether payment was received at the time of sale.
2. Apply the routing rule: paid at sale is a sales receipt, pay later is an invoice.
3. Compare the rule to the document used.
4. Return the check without changing records.

The output

sale | paid_at_sale | correct_document | document_used | match

Worked fictional example

Fictional batch of 10 sales: 7 were paid on the spot and 3 were on terms; the batch shows 4 invoices issued for on-the-spot payments, so 4 documents used the wrong route.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
