THE CHALLENGE

THE CHALLENGE

Reconciling two versions of the same invoice.

Invoice data could exist in two different versions, with some line items changing between them. The challenge was to make those discrepancies easy to identify, clearly show the source of each value, give users control over which information to keep, and provide a clear view of the final invoice before completing the reconciliation.

ALIGNING ON THE REQUIREMENTS

ALIGNING ON THE REQUIREMENTS

Turning business and technical requirements into a product experience.

I worked closely with business and technical stakeholders to translate business goals and technical constraints into clear product requirements. This meant understanding what users needed to see and decide, while identifying the dependencies and edge cases the experience needed to account for.

DESIGN PROCESS

Turning discrepancies into decisions

01 — Make discrepancies obvious

Help users quickly identify what changed between the two versions of an invoice.

02 — Make the source visible

Make the source of each value clear so users can quickly compare discrepancies, determine what’s correct, and choose the information that should carry forward.

03 — Make the outcome clear

Give users a clear picture of the reconciled invoice before they commit their changes.
