Collect Representative Invoice Samples

Invoice testing and training activities require representative invoice documents.

Before implementation, collect invoices from the organization's most frequently used suppliers.

Recommended practice:

  • Collect invoices from at least the top 10–20 suppliers.
  • Include multiple invoice layouts where available.
  • Include regular recurring invoices.
  • Include invoices from different regions and Business Units where applicable.
  • Include invoice scenarios needed to validate invoice completion policies and anomaly controls.

These invoices will be used during testing, training, policy validation, and control validation.
