What’s Included

  • Invoices — your invoice register (7 columns).
  • Payments Received — the bank-side incoming batch.
  • Reconciliation — joins invoices to payments on Invoice #; computes variance, aging, and status (OK / MISSING / MISMATCH / DUPLICATE).

How to Use

  1. Paste your invoices into Invoices.
  2. Paste the bank’s incoming CSV into Payments Received.
  3. Open Reconciliation — everything joins automatically.
  4. Investigate rows flagged DUPLICATE (red) and MISMATCH (amber) first.
  • Reconcile Payments vs. Invoices (/tutorials/reconcile-payments-vs-invoices)
  • Detect Duplicate or Missing Payments (/tutorials/detect-duplicate-missing-payments)

Common Pitfalls

  • Partial payments. One invoice can legitimately be paid in multiple wires. The MISMATCH check fires on any variance > $1 — tune to your tolerance.
  • FX adjustments. If the bank converts currency, the reported USD often differs from the invoice USD. Capture FX as a separate row in Payments Received rather than adjusting the invoice.
