Vendor Statement Reconciliation Assistant

Reconciling a vendor statement means matching every line to your AP ledger — chasing invoices the vendor billed but you never recorded, credits they issued but you never posted, and amounts that don't agree. This assistant matches each statement line to the ledger, flags missing invoices, mismatches, and unapplied credits, and quantifies the gap. The AP clerk opens one reconciled view with every exception tied to its line and a follow-up action proposed.

How it works

1. Add the vendor statement and your AP ledger — paste or upload the statement of account and the matching open-payables export.
2. The assistant matches each statement line to the ledger by invoice number and amount, line by line.
3. It flags every exception — missing invoices, amount mismatches, unapplied credits, and duplicate or disputed charges — with the reason and dollar impact.
4. You get one reconciled view: match status, the exceptions, and a proposed follow-up action for each, ready to send.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Vendor Statement Reconciliation Assistant work?

You paste or upload the vendor statement and your AP ledger; the assistant matches each line by invoice number and amount, flags exceptions like missing invoices or mismatches, and shows you a reconciled view with proposed follow-up actions.

Do I need to write code to use this?

No, there is no coding required. You simply paste or upload the statement and ledger, and the assistant handles the matching and exception flagging.

Which apps does it connect to?

It does not connect to any external apps; you work directly with the data you paste or upload within your Gaia workspace.

Does it send dispute emails automatically?

No, it drafts proposed follow-up actions, but you must approve every dispute or adjustment before it is sent or posted.

How accurate is the reconciliation?

It matches line by line by invoice number and amount, providing a clear view of matches and exceptions, but you should always review the flagged items for accuracy.
