02 Exception Paths
Exception Type How It Differs Who
Credit / Volume Vendors
Ashpa · Jaeger · Blue Ridge Lumber · Advanced Flooring
Invoices accumulate in a Vendor Reconciliation Sheet (GSheet). VPT row shows monthly total; recon sheet is linked from the VPT row for Andrew's review. Elmie reconciles monthly statement. Elmie + Ritchie
Credit Card Payments
e.g. Grant Supplies, Allied Steel
Mark completes a CC authorization form with payment details, sends to Ritchie for review, then files the completed form in Dropbox before the charge is processed. Mark → Ritchie
Recurring / Autopay
Subscriptions · utilities · entity fees
Autopay executes on calendar trigger. When invoice/receipt arrives, file in Dropbox only — no routing, no approval required. Elmie matches during bank feed reconciliation. Elmie (recon)
New Vendor — No ACH on File
Any first-time vendor
Mark checks Vendor/W9/COI Tracker tab in VPT. If ACH not found, Ritchie checks A/P Inbox WA for prior Andrew post. If none, Ritchie asks Andrew to post ACH info. Mark screenshots and adds to tracker. Mark → Ritchie → Andrew
