Illustrative example
An approved attachment identified precisely
- INV-441 v01
- Unsent draft / contact review needed
- INV-441 v02
- Contact corrected / approved
- Sent artifact
- Exact v02 file reference and send record
- Prior version
- Superseded draft reference retained
Fictional version trail; no new charge or automatic correction is created.
See the recorded product workflowWhat this document helps you record
An invoice document version register tracks the relationship between files and their approval states. Version numbers identify document revisions; they do not create additional invoice charges. Keep the original invoice identity and any separately issued correction identity explicit.
Each row records filename, version, content-change reason, reviewer, status and the exact sent-file reference. Distinguish draft, approved, sent and superseded states with evidence. A newer archive file does not erase what a client received earlier or demonstrate permission to change it.
The fictional register has INV-441 v01 as an unsent draft and v02 as the approved file after a billing-contact correction. It records v02's actual send reference only after delivery. An amount change to an already-issued invoice would require a different documented correction review.

Outcome
Use this page to move from general research into a calmer, more repeatable invoicing process.
How to complete the template
Preserve document identity
Record invoice ID, archive location and the version relationship. Separate a new invoice or credit reference from a revision of the same file.
Log reason and authority
Describe the actual content change and approved reason. Attach reviewer evidence and mark the previous version superseded when appropriate without deleting the record.
Capture the sent artifact
Compare the approved file with the send attachment and record its exact reference and delivery outcome. Investigate differences before resending or replacing a document.

Avoid this
Calling the largest version approved
Version order is not approval evidence. Check the recorded decision and actual file content.
Avoid this
Erasing the original sent file
Keep its reference and outcome. A replacement document must retain the correction relationship and authorized treatment.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Is a draft revision a second invoice?
No. Keep file revisions separate from charge identity, and review actual duplicate service coverage independently.
Should I delete superseded files?
Follow your document retention policy. This worksheet preserves their references so the revision trail remains reviewable.
Does a sent status mean paid?
No. Delivery and payment are different states with different evidence.
