Spanish term

Confrontable

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping Billing - Invoice types
Spain and LatAm. The term appears in billing software strings, describing different types of invoice. The strings appear in a list, often with no apparent relation between them, so there is not much useful context.

"Documentos de origen de contabilidad de entidad autodeclarada (dinámica). No confrontables. Minoristas.
Documentos de origen de contabilidad de entidad autodeclarada (dinámica). Confrontables."

@Cristina This client already uses "verificar" and "validar" in other situations, so I prefer not to muddy the waters by using them here as well, if possible.

Another option: verificadas, validadas

@Cristina Thanks for confirming that "cotejar" is a more frequently used synonym. The problem I have now is that "cotejar" usually translates as "collate", but a search for "collatable invoice" gets no hits, so it looks like I'll have to do some more research to find out what we call these things in English.

Uncommon term? I ran a search for "factura confrontable" and only got one hit, so the term may not be widely used. A more common term would be "factura cotejada" but in that case I'd need confirmation that confrontar/cotejar are synonyms.

Comparative (as in a comparative statement)

This could be a technical term found in the field of accounting: A comparative statement, as opposed to a non-comparative.

Definition: "A comparative statement is a document used to compare a particular financial statement with prior period statements. Previous financials are presented alongside the latest figures in side-by-side columns, enabling investors to identify trends, track a company’s progress and compare it with industry rivals."

The relevant sense of the Spanish word "confrontar" (I think it's been clearly explained in the discussion above): "Poner alguna cosa o considerarla en comparación con otra semejante, para resolver alguna duda o algún problema: “Es el hábito de confrontar los hechos reales con los planes trazados de antemano".
Example sentence:

Note from asker:
Tx. This will have to do. At least "comparative invoice" gets many more hits than the Spanish terms I've researched so far.
