Often, yes. Break the backlog into a list you can act on:
- Look first. Check the state of every open invoice. You may find invoices that were started and never sent, or that came back with a reason nobody read.
- Build a recovery log, one row per invoice: the PO, the period, the amount, the status, what’s holding it, who owns the next step and when.
- Sort by what’s holding each one, not by age. Start with everything you can fix yourself this week.
- Rebuild proof honestly. You can use calendar entries, emails and delivery notices from the time, and ask the site to confirm in writing today. Never fabricate or backdate a document.
- Follow up one invoice at a time, naming the exact invoice, PO, period and amount.
