# Payment Receipt Reconciliation

## Purpose

Payment Receipt Reconciliation turns the supplied records into cash-application sheet and reconciliation report with exact matches, grouped settlements, partials, unapplied receipts, short-pays, and variance totals. It keeps source facts, derived values, recommendations, and limitations separate so each conclusion can be checked.

## Scope

Cover receipt_id, value date, payer, amount, currency, remittance invoice, open invoice, balance, credit note, fee, short-pay reason. Preserve source identifiers, dates, units, and wording needed to trace every result.

**Excluded for cash application and unapplied receipts:** changing source records, taking external actions, making a human approval or employment decision, and asserting facts absent from the corpus.

## Data basis

- Process documents and tables containing receipt_id, value date, payer, amount, currency, remittance invoice, open invoice, balance, credit note, fee, short-pay reason.
- Company policy, rubric, schema, templates, and reference tables in scope.
- Run input for period, audience, entity, or threshold when it changes this run.

## Result

Produce cash-application sheet and reconciliation report with exact matches, grouped settlements, partials, unapplied receipts, short-pays, and variance totals. Each material row and conclusion cites a document, section, page, row, field, or run input.

## Quality criteria

- Every receipt-to-invoice matching and variance totals record is included or has an exclusion reason.
- Calculations state fields, units, denominator, and rule.
- Missing, contradictory, stale, and ambiguous values stay labelled rather than guessed.
- Facts, interpretations, and proposed next actions use separate fields.
- Supplied terminology, thresholds, and status values are used consistently.
- The final limitations section states what the corpus could not establish.

## Instructions

Match on remittance invoice, payer, currency, amount, and open balance. Keep grouped and partial settlements traceable. Do not apply cash when payer or currency is ambiguous; classify fees separately. Preserve original values beside normalized values, cite every material finding, and use “not assessed” when required evidence or a rule is absent. When sources disagree, show both citations and explain the conflict. Keep row-level evidence in the supporting sheet and summarize only supported conclusions in the document.

## Adapt before use

- Map the bank, remittance, and open-AR mapping fields and row citation convention.
- Add the governing policy, rubric, schema, or reference tables to the scope.
- Define thresholds, status values, units, and exception severity.
