I must be missing something. I was looking through
USAC's 2013 Annual Report, and I came upon the chart on page 15, showing invoice processing, and I noticed the numbers didn't add up. So I dumped the data into Excel and added a row at the bottom:
|
Q1 |
Q2 |
Q3 |
Q4 |
invoices received |
196,428 |
333,079 |
451,211 |
520,444 |
invoices paid |
176,272 |
302,112 |
405,089 |
471,081 |
invoices rejected |
10,740 |
18,874 |
24,865 |
30,813 |
??? |
9,416 |
12,093 |
21,257 |
18,550 |
Let's look at Q4 as an example: USAC got 520,444 invoices, paid 471,081 and rejected 30,813. What happened to the other 18,550? They can't be dumping thousands of invoices into a
black hole, could they? Maybe the dreaded "pass zero" invoices are in that row; those invoices wouldn't fit in the "rejected" row, since they are technically approved, but they wouldn't fit in the "paid" row, either, since they are approved for $0, so there's no payment.
Anyone out there have a guess? Or maybe someone could give us the actual answer....
