Accounts Receivables - Invoice the Customer Right the First Time

The best way to collect your receivables is: Do it right the first time...in other words, make sure that the invoice is accurate and agrees with the client's purchase order. The best way to delay collection of the receivables is invoice the client different than the agreed upon price, quantities or terms.

If the invoice agrees to the client's purchase order, the payable clerk will just process the invoice and there is not need for any further management approvals which only delays payment.
