At Manoa, we prepare purchases, place approved orders, follow up with suppliers, resolve delivery problems and reconcile invoices. Your staff would still check deliveries, and your accounting team would post entries, handle banking, approve payments and close the books.

Payments, stock, clinical records and the general ledger stay with your team at every stage. Read what we handle.

Ask what happens when a delivery is short

In this illustrative example, a five-location practice places an order. One site receives fewer cases than expected, but the invoice bills the full quantity. Someone needs to check the receipt, contact the supplier and follow through on a correction or credit.

Ask each provider who would do those tasks and how they’d confirm the issue was resolved. A payment, invoice match or order status can’t tell you whether the right quantity actually arrived. Our invoice discrepancy guide follows that correction through to accounting.
