You can see where exactly the mismatch appears and the reason for the mismatch:
Contact your ServiceChannel manager to have the mismatch reasons on invoice details.
Additionally, you can view the number of invoices with discrepancies in Analytics. This data may help you to identify areas of invoice process improvement.
