INTRODUCTION
The statement reconciliation module allows suppliers to upload 'statement files', which is the
list of invoices they have sent to a particular customer, and have it analyzed and returned with
results about the transactions. The validation logic takes into consideration invoice details
provided, additional details and IDS package details to provide a status and other supporting
details as output.
RECONCILE DASHBOARD
The Dashboard will summarize the transactions made by the supplier. It contains details on the
missing transactions, statement errors etc.
1. Missing Transactions: It lists the total count of invoices that were found missing after
the comparison is made. Alongside the count, it lists the invoice total of such missing
invoices. In the image, ‘2’ indicates the number of invoices that are found missing and
$40 indicates the invoice total of the 2 invoices. Clicking the count or invoice total
would list the corresponding statements.
2. Statement Errors: Discrepancy might occur due to Incorrect amount, Incorrect date
etc. The total invoice count of such invoices is populated here and the invoice total of
the invoices is calculated. Clicking the count or invoice total would list the
corresponding statements
3. Last Statement Received: Indicates the time and status of the statement that was
processed last.
4. Statement Header: Plots a graphical representation of the count of invoices in the
three statuses – Missing, Matched and Discrepancy. Clicking each bar would list the
corresponding statements.
5. Export: Allows exporting the chart image or data.
6. Statement Lines: The Statement Lines are split into categories based on their
statuses. Clicking each status would populate the corresponding statements.
a. Unpaid – Approved
b. Unpaid - Pending Approval
c. Missing
d. Amount Incorrect
e. Invoice/Credit Incorrect
7. Largest Missing Amount: It shows the details of the statement file which had
invoices missing and which carried the largest invoice total.
8. Largest Discrepancy Amount: It shows the details of the statement file with the
largest discrepancy amount. In this case, the invoice would be existing in the system
but has variation in the invoice total.
STATEMENT UPLOAD
All statements that are to be analyzed are uploaded through this section.
1. Customer: The customer to whom the invoices have been submitted is selected here.
2. Upload File: The files that are to be uploaded are submitted in this section.
Fill in the statement Start date and End date. These are mandatory. The Vendor Number
of supplier will be populated in the field – Vendor Number and then click on Next.
Statement Mapping Fields
In Statement mapping fields the fields from the file are mapped. Each column from the
uploaded file is mapped to the vendor fields.
1. Mapping Type: The user may choose to create a new mapping or can select a
mapping that is already saved from the dropdown.
2. Mapping Name: User can assign a name to the new mapping created in the section.
3. Fields: Vendor fields are populated against each column in the statement file the user
has uploaded. Invoice number is mandatory to be mapped.
Field that does not require mapping may be assigned – Ignore this field. After the fields
are mapped, click on the button – Save.
Choosing Data Set
Once the mapping is saved, it is required to choose the Data set against which the file is to be
compared. The user may choose the dataset from Daily Invoice status data and Customer
Uploaded Dataset.
1. Daily Invoice Status Data: Selecting this option would compare the statement file
with the entries in the IDS Invoice table.
2. Customer Uploaded Dataset: This is the Data set that is uploaded by the
customer. Selecting this option would compare the statement file uploaded by
supplier against the Data uploaded by the customer.
If the supplier has selected both, the comparison would be done on Customer Uploaded
Dataset and if all lines are found missing then Daily Invoice Status Data will be used.
After selecting the required dataset click on Continue to process the file.
