What happens if my invoice fails validation?
If your invoice doesn’t meet the required standards, your ASP will receive a negative Message Level Status (MLS) from the FTA or the buyer’s ASP. It won’t be delivered or reported. You'll need to fix the issue and resubmit.
But here’s the good news: if you’re using Complyance(a pre-approved, accredited service provider), we handle all of this for you. Our platform pre-validates every invoice before it’s sent, catching issues in real-time so failed submissions never happen. From formatting to field mapping, from TDD generation to MLS tracking, we take care of the entire lifecycle.
You send the invoice. We do the rest. No rejections. No surprises. Just compliance that works.
