A supplier invoice can be received either in paper or PDF format.
The paper invoice will be barcoded and scanned, the PDF invoice will be uploaded into the ERP system.
Invoices with a purchase order.
A first pass attempt to post the invoice in the financial book of records will be executed, whereby the invoice amounts and quantities will be matched versus the purchase order.
In case of discrepancies, an internal follow up will be performed with the purchase requisitioner or goods receiver for the quantity part and/or with the buyer for unit price deviations.
If the discrepancy cannot be solved and are rejected by the internal partners, the invoice will be rejected and sent back to supplier with the request to issue a corrective invoice or (partial) credit note.
If the discrepancy has been reviewed and proper follow up is provided to solve it, the invoice will be posted. This financial posting may be subject to an additional internal audit which will block the entry.
Once the audit is performed, the block will be released and the invoice is ready for payment.
Invoice without a purchase order.
The invoice should at least indicate a reference or a contact person which should enable the request to review the invoice on correctness.
If no reference is available, the invoice will rejected and sent back to the supplier with request to provide proper reference or contact details.
If a reference or contact is available, an internal follow up will be performed to have the invoice reviewed on correctness and to acquire authorization for payment.
Based on the authorization, the invoice will be posted.
If no authorization can be obtained, the invoice will be rejected and sent back to supplier with the request to issue a corrective invoice or (partial) credit note.
This financial posting may be subject to an additional internal audit which will block the entry.
Once the audit is performed, the block will be released and the invoice is ready for payment.
The payment due date of the invoice is calculated based on the agreed upon payment terms. Once the due date is reached, the invoice will be selected for payment.

LEI data provides global legal identity and source-reported relationships, not a credit or regulatory approval. BritDB links Level 1 identities only through GLEIF’s Companies House registration-authority identifier and exact company number; Level 2 parent and fund relationships and reporting exceptions are reproduced as supplied by GLEIF.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
06 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
07 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
08 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
09 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
10 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
