Frequently asked questions
What is supplier statement reconciliation?
Supplier statement reconciliation compares a vendor's statement of account (their aged receivables) against your open, in-process and paid invoices to find what matches, what doesn't and the exceptions, including potential duplicates and untaken credits.
How does automated statement reconciliation work?
Your invoice data is loaded securely into the system, the supplier or your staff uploads the supplier's statement, and the software automatically matches each line. You get a report of what matches, what does not and what needs attention, with no line-by-line manual comparison.
Who runs the reconciliation, the supplier or AP?
Either or both. Suppliers can reconcile their own statements through the self-service portal, and AP staff can run the same reconciliation internally, so reconciliations stop being a recurring email exchange.
What problems does statement reconciliation catch?
It identifies potential duplicate invoices and credits you have not yet taken, and shows exactly where your records and the supplier's differ. Finding duplicates and untaken credits before payment has a direct cash impact.
