# Invoice Numbering Sequence Gap Check

## Inputs
Invoice export, numbering configuration, and credit note and voided invoice records.

## Workflow
1. Order invoices by number and list gaps and duplicates.
2. Match each gap to a voided or draft invoice record.
3. Flag duplicates with their amounts and statuses.
4. Return the exception list without renumbering anything.

## Output contract
Number range | status | explained by | amount | exception | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional export runs 1041-1088 with 46 invoices; 1055 traces to a voided draft and 1056 has no record. Flag 1056 only.

## Review gates
Re-check exports from all numbering series, not just the default. A gap explained by a void needs the void record attached.
