INVOICE REVIEW GUIDE

Overdue invoice audit: review a minimized CSV

An overdue invoice is a record to review, not proof that cash was lost. Payments, credit notes, disputes and export timing can change what is actually owed.

Start with the source record

Export a current invoice list from your billing system. Keep a private mapping of invoice IDs to customer records. CAVOA needs only id, status, balance, currency, due_date and last_payment_date. Omit names, emails, bank details and free-text notes.

What the current CSV checker does

The supported scan flags overdue unpaid balances and stale part-paid balances using the supplied fields. It shows matched rows and rule explanations. An old balance can be a reconciliation issue; confirm payments and credits in the source system. It does not inspect failed card payments or establish collectibility.

A practical review sequence

Confirm the invoice is still open, check its due date, match payments and credits, then record whether the finding is true, false or uncertain. Do not chase a customer from a CSV flag alone. Use the Action Center to track your review and next step.

Try the zero-data check first

The free Revenue Leak Check asks about your process. It does not read invoices or estimate money found. A minimized CSV audit is optional and subject to the First Five participation workflow.
