# Supplier Invoice Approval Evidence Check

## Inputs
The invoice batch, the purchase orders, the goods receipts and the approval log.

## Workflow
1. List invoices due in the next payment run.
2. Match each invoice to its purchase order and receipt.
3. Flag invoices missing match or approval evidence.
4. Return the check without releasing payments.

## Output contract
Invoice | supplier | PO match | receipt | approval | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional run: 12 invoices; 9 are fully matched and approved, 2 lack goods receipts and 1 has no approval. Flag 3 invoices.

## Review gates
Re-check partial receipts before flagging. The check holds evidence gaps; it never stops a payment alone.
