Analysis
Rejecting a record signals the supplier to correct it, and the supplier's liability may be adjusted. If the amount is wrong, ask the supplier to amend it and accept the amended record. Pending is useful when goods are in transit and you want to claim credit only on receipt. Do not keep invoices pending past the year-end cut-off.
