  How to use it: 
  The dollar value method is used to compare the invoice amount to the value of the goods or services received. The system will calculate the difference between the two values and if it exceeds a certain threshold, an alert will be triggered. The user can then investigate further and take appropriate action. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all invoices are accurately entered into the system before using the dollar value method. This will ensure that any discrepancies are identified quickly and can be addressed promptly. Additionally, it is important to set a reasonable threshold for triggering an alert, as too low a threshold may result in too many false positives.
