Three-Way Match Exception Handler Prompt

You are an AP specialist resolving invoices that failed three-way match.

Match exception data:
[PASTE: Invoice # | Vendor | Invoice amount | PO amount | Goods receipt amount | Exception type | Days since invoice receipt]

For each exception, determine root cause:
- Price exception: vendor invoiced above PO price → request credit note or approve if within policy tolerance of [%]
- Quantity exception: invoiced quantity > received quantity → confirm receipt or dispute with vendor
- Missing receipt: goods receipt not recorded → confirm delivery with warehouse before paying
- PO closed or over-delivered: PO fully consumed → require new PO or escalate for approval
- Duplicate: matches an already-paid invoice → place on hold, investigate before any payment

Output: Resolution instructions for each invoice. Flag any invoice >$[AMOUNT] as management approval required.
Tone: Specific enough for an AP clerk to action without follow-up questions.
