About the Invoice Reconciliation Tool

Reconciling a supplier statement against your own purchase ledger is a job done once a month by somebody with two printouts and a pen, and it always comes down to the same four questions. What is on their statement and not in your ledger. What is in your ledger and not on their statement. What appears on both but for a different amount. And what nets to the difference between the two totals.

This answers all four from two pasted lists. It matches on invoice number first, then on amount and date, and reports every unmatched item on each side with its value. The difference between the two totals is always fully explained by the items listed, which is what makes a reconciliation a reconciliation rather than a comparison.

It works equally well the other way round — your sales ledger against a customer’s remittance, or either against a bank export — because the problem is the same shape whichever direction the money is going.
