Change a supplier’s invoice submission route prospectively

Update future document routing while retaining where earlier documents actually arrived.

Prepare the purchasing decision

Synthetic V-I changes the confirmed invoice submission route from IN-OLD to IN-NEW on 1 November. It does not change supplier identity, bank details or purchase terms. An invoice received through IN-OLD in October remains recorded that way. A document queued for the old route after the change needs rerouting review rather than a falsified receipt history.

Complete the recorded outcome

  1. Record the confirmed route change and effective date.
  2. Identify unsent documents using the old route.
  3. Review future routing and preserve earlier receipt evidence.

An unconfirmed request to change the route stays pending; this workflow does not verify payment destinations.

Should I-R1’s October source change to IN-NEW?

Show the worked answer

No. It actually arrived through IN-OLD. The new route applies prospectively and cannot rewrite the receipt.

Use fictional route labels in the worksheet; no real mailbox or connection is asserted.
