A vendor statement and a bill detail answer different questions. The statement reviews supplier activity at its selected date; the bill detail shows the document, its recorded payments and supported corrections. A difference can be explained only after the dates and activity are aligned.
Open View statement for the vendor and confirm Statement date. Then inspect the specific bill's record history and current balance. Look for payments or credits recorded after the statement cutoff before concluding that either screen is wrong.
If the statement reports that its evidence changed, refresh it and repeat the comparison. Keep the supplier identity and company fixed throughout the review. Two similarly named vendor records are not interchangeable sources for the same comparison.
Use the source document when checking the bill's original amount and terms. Do not edit a valid bill merely to match an older statement or an external supplier statement that includes additional documents. Identify the missing or differently dated event and follow the workflow that owns that event.
