Is it possible to put a check digit on the invoice number as it appears in bar code form?
This way, if the wrong number were transmitted, the check digit would fail, and you would know it needs to be resent. This way, your transmittal speed doesn't slow down, just occaisionally you may need to retransmit the scan?
