Calculation notes

How the result is calculated

Batch amount = invoice 1 + invoice 2 + invoice 3. Difference = batch amount − independently reviewed expected amount. A positive result is an excess; a negative result is a shortfall. Keep one currency and one tax basis. Equal amounts cannot prove that the correct documents, clients or work items are present.

Formulas and examples reviewed October 2, 2026. Illustrative figures; no tax or contractual determination.

An amount agrees

USD 1,500 and USD 900 total USD 2,400. Against an independently reviewed USD 2,400 register, the difference is zero. Identity and duplicate checks still remain.

A missing ready item

USD 1,500 and USD 900 total USD 2,400 against USD 2,700 expected, producing a USD −300 shortfall. Investigate the register and documents; do not create a USD 300 charge merely to force agreement.

Questions about this calculation

Can a matching total hide an error?

Yes. A missing USD 500 invoice and a duplicate USD 500 invoice cancel arithmetically. Check the work references and document IDs separately.

Can I add USD and EUR invoice totals?

No. Run a separate check for each currency and keep the expected total on the same tax basis. This checker performs no conversion.
