We generally see our customers want to avoid extra work because the vendor overinvoiced the company. The bill should reflect the items delivered / work performed.

Readers might want to check out Coupa (www.coupa.com) for a more advanced purchase order, receipt and bill capture system that is pre-integrated to Quickbooks (http://marketplace.intuit.com/AppID-3209-Overview.aspx and http://www.coupa.com/e-procurement/innovations/quickstart/). As one solution, you may want to do 3-way matching (PO, Receipt, Bill). The application knows that the overinvoice has occurred and pings the right user to confirm receipt of the items / work. If the user confirms that the vendor has satisfied what they've issued a bill for, then the invoice can be approved and sync'ed to Quickbooks. There are some other ways in Coupa to do this too, so we invite people to learn more and even try it out.
