Philippines AP staffing guide
Review possible duplicate supplier records
Compare supplier identities and activity while keeping merge, disablement, and master-data decisions with authorized employees.
Direct answer
What this role should do
Build a source-linked duplicate supplier record review, show missing evidence, and reserve decisions for the vendor-master owner.
Start the duplicate supplier record review with source evidence
Two supplier IDs share a tax name but use different remit addresses and bank records. Define the queue, period, company entity, source systems, and the event that starts the clock before assigning work.
Retain supplier IDs, legal and trading names, addresses, identifiers, approved contacts, payment history, active documents, comparison, and decision. Keep missing or conflicting fields visible instead of filling them from memory.
Separate preparation from authority
An outsourced AP specialist may gather approved records, compare observable fields, update factual status, and route questions. The vendor-master owner retains policy, approval, accounting judgment, master-data changes, and payment authority.
Use plain states such as received, checked, waiting for evidence, with owner, decided, and closed. Record every correction and handoff.
Test exceptions and replay the result
Choose awkward cases before launch and ask a second reviewer to reconstruct the outcome from the retained packet without an oral explanation.
For acceptance, sample exact matches, trading names, related entities, address changes, inactive records, and false positives. If the reviewers differ, repair the rule, example, access, or escalation path before scaling the queue.
