Invoice Follow-Up Email Generator
The polite follow-up when an invoice has gone quiet but is not yet a problem.
Check an invoice before you send it: required details, arithmetic and what a client can query.
The Invoice Validation Tool reads a pasted invoice the way a client’s accounts payable team does — checking that the required details are present, that the arithmetic adds up, and that any tax and bank numbers pass their own check digits.
An invoice is rejected for boring reasons. No purchase order number, so it cannot be matched. No due date, so it goes to the bottom of the pile. A VAT number that is one digit out. A subtotal that does not match the lines, which makes an accounts team query the whole thing rather than the one line.
Paste the invoice — as text, from a PDF, from an email — and this reads it the way a client’s accounts payable team does. It looks for the details that must be there: an invoice number, both businesses, the dates, the currency, the line items, the tax treatment, how to pay. It recalculates the arithmetic it can find: the lines against the subtotal, the tax against the rate, the subtotal and tax against the total.
Then it checks the numbers that carry check digits — VAT, GSTIN, ABN, IBAN — and flags what is only well-formed rather than verified. Every finding says what is wrong and why it matters, so the fix takes a minute instead of a week of email. Nothing is uploaded.
Numbers, dates, parties, currency, tax and payment terms.
Lines against subtotal, tax against rate, total against both.
VAT, GSTIN, ABN and IBAN by their own rules.
No PO number, no due date, no way to pay.
The invoice is read in your browser.
Copy the text out of a PDF, a document or an email.
So the right requirements are applied.
Missing details first, then arithmetic, then the identifiers.
Paste the corrected invoice back in.
That the details required on an invoice are present, that the arithmetic adds up, that any VAT, GST, ABN or IBAN passes its check digit, and the practical things that get invoices queried — no PO number, no due date, no payment details.
No. It means nothing obvious is missing or contradictory. Requirements vary by country and by what you sell, so treat it as a proofreader rather than an auditor.
Paste the text from the PDF. For files, the Invoice Data Extractor reads PDFs directly and this tool checks what it finds.
No. It is read in your browser and never sent anywhere.
