A dummy receipt is a document used in accounts payable processes to facilitate internal management. It typically includes details such as the vendor name, invoice number, amount due, and payment due date. The purpose of the dummy receipt is to provide reference points for other departments when reconciling payments and verifying invoices. By having this information available on one document, it allows teams to quickly resolve any discrepancies or issues that arise during the process. This helps to ensure that the entire system remains accountable and ensures accuracy on all sides.
