It is commonly known that big IT staffing companies lose a considerable part of their income because of missed invoices.

Here is a brief description about missed invoices. They are: “invoice discovered by the AP (Accounts Payable) department of the customer when the vendor (IT staffing companies in our context) calls to enquire about the status of their bills and is found that it has not been posted for processing.”

What are the causes of missing invoices? And Solutions 

• Your accountant misses the due date for submission of an invoice and it has been put by the customer’s accountant for consideration in the next payment cycle. The problem gets compounded when the customer’s accountant fails to process in the next cycle. You call the customer’s office only to discover that it is in the backburner and that it will be considered for payment only in the following payment processing cycle. How do you avoid this trap?

Your customer is worried and wants a complete audit of all invoices you had submitted earlier and received a payment. Your customer’s accountant decides to put your current invoice on hold.

Your customer’s might want clarity and hence sends your invoice to a “clear later” bin and have forgotten about it. When the payment day comes and you call only to discover that your invoice is not in the AP process.
