About this template

An invoice request form creates a formal, structured channel for submitting vendor invoices inside an organization. Rather than forwarding PDFs through email threads that get lost or misfiled, this form captures every required detail — vendor info, amounts, due dates, payment method preference, and purchase order numbers — in a single submission that lands directly in your accounts payable queue.

For finance teams processing dozens or hundreds of invoices per month, consistency is the key to speed. When every submission follows the same structure, payment runs can be batched efficiently and discrepancies caught before they become disputes. The supporting document checklist ensures that approvers always know whether a receipt or contract is on file before authorizing payment.

formformform makes it easy to deploy this form across an organization without any IT involvement. Share the link in Slack, add it to an internal wiki, or embed it on your company intranet. All submissions are stored in your dashboard for review, and you can export the data to a spreadsheet at any time for reconciliation.

Best practices for your invoice request form

Require a purchase order number

linking invoices to POs prevents duplicate payments and simplifies month-end reconciliation.

Set a clear payment due date field

capturing this at submission time prevents rushed approvals and late payment penalties.

Include a description of services field

a written description creates a paper trail that protects your organization during audits.

Use the supporting documents checklist

prompting submitters to confirm attachments reduces back-and-forth follow-up before approval.

Keep vendor email optional

internal requesters submitting on behalf of a vendor may not always have that on hand, so blocking on it slows down submissions.

Export monthly to CSV

run a regular data export and reconcile against your accounting system to catch any orphaned submissions.

Frequently asked questions

Can vendors submit this form directly, or is it just for internal staff? +

Either approach works. You can share the form link directly with vendors so they submit their own invoice details, or keep it internal for AP staff to log invoices on behalf of vendors. The form works the same way either way.

How do I attach the actual invoice file? +

formformform's current template uses a checklist to confirm that documents are attached — the physical file can be emailed separately or uploaded to a shared drive. If you need file uploads built into the form itself, you can add a file upload field in the form editor.

Can I route submitted invoices to different approvers based on amount or department? +

You can set up separate forms for different departments or thresholds, each with its own notification email. For more complex multi-step approval workflows, you would connect the form submissions to a tool like Zapier or Make to route notifications conditionally.

Is there a limit to how many invoices I can collect? +

No. formformform allows unlimited submissions on all plans. You can process as many invoices as your team handles each month without hitting a cap.

Can I export invoice submissions to a spreadsheet? +

Yes. All submissions are available in your formformform dashboard and can be exported to CSV at any time for import into your accounting software or spreadsheet.
