Operating checklist: A Clean Invoice Review and Approval Handoff

This checklist is for small teams sharing invoice responsibilities. Its narrow purpose is to reduce back-and-forth between capture and decision makers; it is not a generic month-end list.

Agree on the minimum fields required for handoff. Confirm that required fields are complete. If you find using one status for every stage, leave the record in review and assign a next action.
Confirm that exceptions are visible. If you find sending screenshots without source files, leave the record in review and assign a next action.

Item to retain	Reason
Original document	It remains the reference for extracted and corrected fields.
Review status	It separates capture, recognition, human review and completion.
Exception note	It explains why a field or source could not be confirmed.
Export reference	It connects any spreadsheet or package back to the evidence.
