How would you rate your vendor invoice management?

Are your employees clear on how to handle invoices? Does your accounts payable (AP) team spend too much time checking and correcting data and matching errors? Have you ever paid a vendor before receipt of goods, paid them twice, or paid them late?

If you answered yes to any of these, you need a strong(er) vendor invoice policy.

Any vendor invoice policy should provide the basics:

1. Clarify every aspect of invoice submission, approval, and documentation
2. Who is responsible for what
3. Company expectations and policy, and
4. What the consequences for noncompliance.
