  • Monitor and coordinate assigned invoice and payment exceptions, including rejected transactions, credits, payment blocks, missing information, and entity or currency discrepancies.
  • Coordinate invoice-related follow-up with suppliers, business stakeholders, Accounts Payable, and other functional partners, while documenting VMO actions and downstream handoffs.
  • Maintain accurate operational trackers, work queues, status reports, dashboards, and audit-ready documentation.
