# How Do I Track Which Invoices Are Missing Supporting Documents?

You track missing documentation by requiring an attachment field on every invoice record, then flagging any that reach approval without one attached. On **Jestor**, this runs through required **fields** connected to **Approvals**.

An invoice approved for payment without its supporting receipt or contract attached creates a documentation gap that only becomes a real problem during an audit or dispute.

## What missing invoice documentation costs

- Documentation gaps discovered only when an audit or dispute requires them
- Time spent tracking down a missing receipt long after the original transaction
- Inconsistent documentation standards across different invoices and requesters
- Risk of failing an audit requirement due to incomplete records

## How tracking missing documentation works

- Each invoice record includes a required **attachment** field
- Invoices lacking that attachment get flagged before approval proceeds
- A dashboard can surface all currently flagged, incomplete invoices
- The gap gets caught while the transaction is still recent and easy to resolve

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The required field catches gaps before they become an audit-time surprise
- Flagging incomplete invoices early makes them easier to resolve while fresh
- Consistent documentation standards apply automatically to every invoice
- This scales from a handful of monthly invoices to a high-volume operation

| Undetected documentation gaps | Flagged missing documents |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Discovered at audit time      | Caught before approval    |
