# Why does Accentis let you over-invoice a receive

Accentis will allow you to “over invoice” a receive so that if a supplier genuinely sends you two bills for the one receive, you can record this in the system in a way that prompts you to do something about it. Otherwise, if you decide to just ignore the additional invoice, the supplier will still believe you owe the money.

###### This process is controlled with warnings and checks so that it does not go unnoticed.

If you attempt to enter an invoice for a receive using the same Invoice #, you will be warned:

If you attempt to over-invoice a line, you will be warned:

The Supplier invoice form will allow you to suspend payments for this invoice until the issue has been resolved:

Along with being allowed to do this data entry comes the responsibility of acknowledging the warnings and dealing with them appropriately.

If a Receive is over-invoiced, it will make the Receive now not “fully received” (this means both under or over received) and will appear in un-invoiced receives report until the quantity and value of goods received is equal to the quantity and value of goods invoiced for each line on a Receive.
