BLUF: Aging work should show what is due, what is approved, and what is blocked. The VA organizes the queue; the owner controls release.

Export the aging report, verify vendor and due-date details, attach bills, flag missing approvals, and identify duplicate or disputed candidates.

Workflow steps

Start with the approved source, complete only routine preparation, and log every exception with evidence. The related qbo bill entry approval queue guide shows a related handoff, while the related quickbooks reporting calendar va guide covers the next review step.

Expert tip

Use one dated queue with an owner, status, evidence link, and next action. This gives the owner a short review list instead of scattered messages.

Owner CTA

Once the first queue is stable, map the next controlled handoff with the QBOAssistant team. Keep judgment-based accounting, tax, payroll, and payment decisions with an authorized reviewer.

Verification

Before closing the queue, sample completed work against its source document, confirm unresolved items are assigned, and preserve the review record. See QuickBooks Online guidance for platform context.
