Hit 100 vendor invoices processed in one day last Tuesday and cried a little

Wasn't trying to break any records just had a slow morning and dug into a backlog and before I knew it I was at 97 at 3pm with no mistakes so I pushed for 100 and now I know exactly how many Keurig pods my system can handle before I start missing decimal points.

Hit 97 by 3pm with no mistakes? You mean you had no errors flagged, but those numbers dont add up man. If you processed 97 by 3pm and then pushed to 100 you still made mistakes on at least 3 invoices because you rushed. Ive done this exact thing and realized at the end I accidentally put two line items on the wrong invoice for one vendor and miscounted the total on another. The Keurig thing is real though. Around cup 5 I start typing vendor codes into the total field.

Did you ever try the thing where you just walk away for 5 minutes after every 20 invoices? I know it sounds like a waste of time but it actually helped me catch a ton of dumb mistakes before they got submitted. I started doing that after I found 4 wrong totals in a row during a rush and had to redo the whole stack. Also, I switched to using a physical notepad to write down vendor codes instead of relying on memory. That alone cut my error rate by like half.
