The full checklist

Every check esadesk runs for Georgia Promise, with its fix in plain words — 10 checks cited to 1 state and platform source.

Has to be right 9

  • Invoice has a unique invoice number provisional

    Add an invoice number — every claim needs one the reviewer can reference.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Invoice has an issue date provisional

    Add the invoice date — AZ's handbook lists it explicitly, and every platform expects it.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Student name is on the invoice provisional

    Add the student's name exactly as it appears in the program.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Vendor business name and contact info are on the invoice provisional

    Add your business name and at least one contact — email or phone.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Every line item has a service date provisional

    Add the date of service to every line — undated lines bounce.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Every line item has a description and an amount provisional

    Give every line a description and a dollar amount.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Parent / account-holder name is on the invoice provisional

    Add the parent's name — platforms match invoices to the account holder.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Vendor business address is on the invoice provisional

    Add your business address — reviewers reject invoices without it.

    GESA Service Provider / Vendor Handbook (June 2025) + Odyssey Marketplace docs
  • Invoice total matches the sum of the lines provisional

    The total doesn't add up to the line items — recalculate before sending.

Worth knowing 1

  • Each line shows its math — minutes, or quantity × unit price good practice provisional

    Not required here, but a line that shows its math gets fewer questions: add the minutes — “Math tutoring — 60 min — $80.00” — or a quantity and a unit price: “4 sessions × $80.00 = $320.00”.
