What this planner does
The model adds approval levels as invoice value rises and creates blocking checks for purchase-order mismatches, changed bank details, and possible duplicates. Thresholds are illustrative; replace them with your approved delegation of authority.
Control principles
- Separate supplier-master changes, invoice validation, approval, and payment release where practical.
- Do not allow urgency to bypass independent verification or approval limits.
- Retain evidence of matching, exceptions, approvals, and payment-instruction verification.
- Review thresholds and delegated authority after organizational or risk changes.
Use the neutral invoice approval software checklist before selecting or configuring a system.
