03 / Invoice to handoff
Issued is not acknowledged. Reported is not verified.
Invoice readiness, issue, customer acknowledgement, payment verification, bank match and accounting handoff are separate states. Closing one must not imply the next.
Distinct closing states
A controlled close keeps the last handoffs distinct.
The route shows the evidence for each state and stops when that evidence is absent. It never treats an issued invoice or a provider response as proof of payment.
