غياب التحقق من الدفع والاحتيال في الكمية (Payment Verification & Quantity Fraud in Credit Lines)
Definition
Contractor credit lines operated without automated three-way matching: PO → Delivery Verification → Invoice. Contractors receive goods, delay payment, then dispute invoice claiming shipment quantity was short or quality poor. Supplier has no dated photographic evidence, contractor signature, or real-time receipt confirmation. Payment dispute escalates into legal threat or bad debt write-off.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AED 500K-1.5M annually per AED 50M contractor receivables (2-4% disputed/unrecoverable amounts); 30-60 days additional cash delay per dispute; Legal costs: AED 50-100K per disputed contract
- Frequency: 5-15% of invoices disputed; Occurs monthly
- Root Cause: Manual invoice creation without linked delivery proof; absence of contractor digital sign-off/acceptance process; no automated dispute escalation; missing photographic documentation of shipments; decentralized data (invoices in AR, delivery notes in logistics, POs in procurement)
