See the recorded product workflowWhat this document helps you record
A client invoice requirements intake establishes what the recipient actually needs in a submission. It extends beyond confirming a billing contact: entity, reference fields, supporting records, submission route and review conditions can each affect readiness. Record evidence rather than inferring requirements from an old invoice for another client.
Ask the authorized client contact or consult the actual recipient instructions, then preserve the requirement source and date checked. Separate mandatory fields from optional preferences, and record unresolved questions with an owner. This worksheet does not create a legal invoice standard or override the agreed commercial terms.
The fictional intake requires a reviewed client entity, reference PO-2026/001 and a specific supporting acceptance record. The exact submission route and review rule remain documented actual inputs. No portal functionality, automatic approval or payment timeline is inferred from those requirements.

Avoid this
Copying another client's requirements
Similar organizations can use different entities, references and routes. Verify this recipient's actual instructions.
Avoid this
Treating a submission rule as payment approval
A complete package can still require review and acceptance. Keep actual decisions and payment terms separate.
Move from reading about the workflow to running it.
InvoiceAgent is designed for the last mile of getting paid: scheduled invoice delivery, reminder timing, professional PDFs, and send-time FX conversion when global billing is involved.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Does the worksheet decide mandatory local invoice fields?
No. Review applicable legal and tax requirements separately alongside the actual client requirements.
Can instructions change after setup?
Retain the new source, effective scope and owner, then recheck affected drafts rather than silently replacing the earlier record.
Should a portal login be copied into this record?
Keep credentials in the approved credential process. This intake records the route and owner, not passwords.
