Abstract
Various embodiments illustrated and described herein include at least one of systems, methods, and software for invoice gap number alerting and processing. Some such embodiments include monitoring, within a computing system involved in at least one of invoice generation and storing, continuity of invoice numbering. Upon noting a missing invoice number, some embodiments include stopping creation of invoices and pushing an alert to a managing entity responsive to noting the missing invoice number. Input will typically be received from the managing entity regarding a missing invoice number. In response to the received input, various embodiments further facilitate registration of the missing invoice number to enable creation of the new invoice and restart creation of invoices.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring, within a computing system involved in at least one of invoice generation and storing, continuity of invoice numbering;
- upon noting a missing invoice number when creating a new invoice:
- stopping creation of invoices;
- pushing an alert to a managing entity responsive to noting the missing invoice number;
- and
- facilitating registration of the missing invoice number to enable creation of the new invoice and restarting creation of invoices.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by at least one processor of at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to:
- monitor, within a computing system involved in at least one of invoice generation and storing, continuity of invoice numbering;
- upon noting a missing invoice number when creating a new invoice:
- stop creation of invoices;
- push an alert to a managing entity responsive to noting the missing invoice number;
- and
- facilitate registration of the missing invoice number to enable creation of the new invoice and restart creation of invoices.
The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of 12, wherein the data on which the hash is calculated includes data from a hash calculated for an immediately preceding invoice and new invoice data.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor, at least one memory device, and at least one network interface device;
- an instruction set stored on the at least one memory device and executable by the at least one processor to:
- monitor, within a stored data set including data representative of invoices, continuity of invoice numbering;
- upon noting a missing invoice number when creating a new invoice:
- stop creation of invoices;
- push an alert, via the at least one network interface device, to a managing entity responsive to noting the missing invoice number;
- and
- facilitate registration of the missing invoice number to enable creation of the new invoice and restart creation of invoices.
