Steps

1. Open Distributor Feed.
2. Click the PO vs Invoice Diff tab.
3. Read the totals: Billed (received invoices), Received (real amount) and Short — owed back.
4. Check the rows — biggest gaps first, with what came up short in the Short $ and Short units columns.
5. Click a row to open its invoice and see which lines came up short.

Good to know

• Only invoices that created a purchase order appear here.
• An order you haven't received yet is marked Awaiting delivery and left out of the totals.
• This tab only shows to people allowed to see the distributor report; the dollar columns also need permission to see costs.

1. Billed vs received

Each row is one invoice and its purchase order. A highlighted row was billed for more than arrived — that's the evidence to take back to the distributor.
