See the recorded product workflowWhat this document helps you record
A rejected invoice resolution handover turns a recorded outcome into an owned next step. It differs from the rejection register, which tracks the cohort and history, and from a correction request, which can ask for a particular document change. The handover must first establish what the recipient actually rejected and what evidence is needed.
Preserve original invoice identity, version, rejection message and supporting references. Separate a requested administrative fix from disputed service or price and verify the appropriate authority for any proposed change. Do not overwrite an issued invoice merely because a recipient returned a package.
The fictional case is returned for a missing approved reference. Its owner verifies the source, prepares the permitted correction or supporting evidence under the actual process, and retains the next recipient decision. Sending another attempt does not itself prove the rejection is resolved or the invoice paid.

How to complete the template
Preserve the actual rejection evidence
Record original invoice and version, recipient outcome, reason and requested evidence. Identify any unknown or conflicting instruction before assigning a fix.
Confirm the authorized resolution path
Name the owner and actual correction or supplemental-document process. Keep commercial disputes separate and obtain required approvals for scope or price changes.
Record the next decision and closure
Retain resubmission or clarification evidence and the actual recipient resolution decision. Update cohort status only when the documented closure rule is met.

Avoid this
Calling resubmission resolution
An attempt can remain pending or be returned again. Record the actual decision before closing the issue.
Avoid this
Changing commercial terms to satisfy a format request
A reference mismatch does not authorize a new price or scope. Keep changes aligned with actual authority.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Can I edit an already-issued invoice directly?
Use the actual approved correction process and applicable requirements. This handover grants no document-edit authority.
Who should own the next action?
Name the role or person authorized for the actual issue, with the evidence needed to act. Avoid an unowned instruction to follow up.
Does closed mean paid?
No. It means the rejection meets the independently documented closure rule; receipt needs separate evidence.
