/ THE SHORT ANSWER
- 01Represent HTTP acceptance and completed validation as different states.
- 02Retain internal and authority-assigned document identifiers.
- 03Reconcile the full invoice population, including pending and rejected items.
/ dotSuper point of view
Finance completion should follow a supported document outcome, with asynchronous submission and validation represented as different events.
Wait for the document outcome
A developer can correctly handle a successful request while the finance dashboard incorrectly implies that every invoice in the request is finished.
Agree the meaning of each state with finance before building the connector.
The labels should help a controller answer what happened to a particular invoice without interpreting network traces or reading application code.
Read what the official SDK actually promises
It therefore uses HTTP 202.
That distinction directly supports a separate pending-validation state.
[1]
The SDK's getting-started material describes system integration through APIs and taxpayer identity configuration.
A working integration therefore depends on the intended taxpayer setup as well as correctly formed document requests.
[2]
Do not interpret a batch response as a commercial judgement about the invoice.
Validation status, accounting correctness, customer acceptance and collection remain different questions.
The internal system should preserve those distinctions.
Use current documentation for implementation details.
The workflow in this article is an operating design, not a substitute for checking the active document types, versions and taxpayer permissions during configuration.
Design an identifier chain finance can follow
Use explicit fields rather than embedding references in free-text notes.
The support team should be able to search from either system.
Track the submission separately from its documents.
One request can contain several invoices, and those records may require different follow-up.
A submission-level status alone cannot explain a mixed population of outcomes.
Preserve the relevant response and subsequent status evidence.
Keep sensitive contents appropriately restricted, but retain enough context to investigate a disputed result.
A screenshot of a green dashboard is weak evidence when identifiers are missing.
Build the daily reconciliation from the intended invoice population.
Compare what finance prepared with what was submitted and resolved.
Starting only from successful responses can make missing submissions invisible.
| State | What it establishes | Next responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Prepared | Business document exists in the ERP | Finance confirms issue readiness |
| Submitted | A request was sent and recorded | Integration checks the response |
| Accepted for processing | Request acceptance is recorded | Integration follows document validation |
| Unresolved or rejected | A document needs further action | Named technical or finance-data owner |
| Reconciled | The intended population has supported outcomes | Controller reviews exceptions and evidence |
Worked hypothetical: one batch, two kinds of work
The request receives HTTP 202.
Later reconciliation finds 94 validated documents, four rejected documents and two still awaiting a confirmed outcome.
The unresolved population is six, calculated as four plus two.
The system should not display 100 completed invoices merely because the request was accepted.
It should show the distinct document states and the evidence supporting them.
The four rejected records go to the relevant data or finance owners with readable reasons.
The two pending records remain under the integration follow-up process.
Neither group is converted into new invoices without understanding the original outcome.
At the next review, the controller can explain all 100 intended documents.
The objective is completeness of the record, not a cosmetically perfect success rate.
A small number of high-value exceptions can matter more than the percentage suggests.
Recover without confusing duplicates and corrections
Design a status investigation and retry process using the current API behaviour.
Do not assume an absent local confirmation proves that nothing reached the service.
Separate a technical retry from a commercial correction.
A request may need recovery without changing the underlying invoice, while an incorrect quantity may require a finance-approved correction route.
The runbook should identify who can authorise each action.
Keep document versions linked to their business event.
If staff change data while an earlier submission remains unresolved, the system can lose track of what was sent.
Record the change and the resolution of the previous state.
Provide a finance-readable exception message alongside technical detail.
The person responsible for a customer identifier needs to know which field requires review.
They should not have to infer the remedy from a transport error code.
Make reconciliation the operating habit
Use those measures to improve source data and recovery procedures.
Connector availability alone cannot describe the health of the finance workflow.
An AI assistant can summarise known error categories and retrieve the relevant procedure.
It should not decide tax treatment or fill missing identifiers from guesswork.
Keep consequential corrections under the existing approval structure.
More detailed states can initially feel complicated.
Make the default finance view simple, with drill-down evidence for unresolved records.
The complexity already exists in the process; the interface should make it understandable.
Begin with a reconciliation rehearsal using permitted test material and a mixed-outcome scenario.
Ask finance to explain every document without developer interpretation.
That exercise shows whether the integration is ready to become a dependable operational service.
