Philippines AP staffing guide
Maintain an AP vendor portal invoice intake log
Record invoice retrieval from supplier portals with stable provenance, cutoff times, and exception ownership.
Direct answer
What this role should do
Create a source-linked record to show which approved portal was checked, what population was available, and what entered the AP queue, then route any judgment or authorization to the invoice intake owner.
Define the AP vendor portal invoice intake log
Start with a named population, cutoff, legal entity, authoritative systems, and accountable reviewer. The routine should show which approved portal was checked, what population was available, and what entered the AP queue.
Retain portal, supplier, account, access role, retrieval time, covered period, document IDs, file references, queue receipts, gaps, and owner. Keep original values beside any comparison field, and mark missing evidence explicitly instead of filling gaps from memory.
Separate evidence work from authority
Outsourced AP support can gather approved records, compare observable fields, maintain chronology, and route exceptions. The invoice intake owner retains approval, policy interpretation, accounting judgment, master-data authority, and payment decisions.
Use bounded states such as received, evidence check, waiting, owner review, owner decided, and closed. Each transition should identify its actor, time, source, and next required action.
Test the handoff before scaling it
Use this scenario: a portal displays three invoices but only two files download successfully before cutoff. The record should expose the conflict, preserve both sources, name the decision owner, and prevent a preparer from turning an assumption into an approved fact.
For acceptance, reconcile ordinary retrievals, missing files, access failures, revised documents, and repeated portal IDs. A second authorized reviewer should be able to reproduce the comparison and explain why the final state follows from attributable evidence.
