Invoice validation is the automatic process of checking invoices against a series of validity checks at the time of entry. ManagingEnergy provides an extensive validation process, which you may choose to use completely, partially, or not at all. Invoices that fail any of the validity checks are flagged as bill exceptions to be processed differently from invoices that pass.
The need for precise tariff validation should be determined early, as it could also mean more data entry effort in the long run. |

A series of validity checks is performed on each new invoice record. The exact checking done on each invoice is determined by Work Flow settings in the Utility Account Definition.
