Automatic reconciliation does not mean every movement closes itself. It means the system proposes a match from evidence: reference ID, amount, date, customer, invoice number, or business rule.
Automatic reconciliation does not mean every movement closes itself. It means the system proposes a match from evidence: reference ID, amount, date, customer, invoice number, or business rule. When more than one match is plausible, keep the movement in a review queue.
Build three match types: one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-one. One payment can settle several invoices; several payments can settle one invoice; and a fee can arrive as a separate movement. A model that knows only one-to-one creates false remainders.
Retain source movement unchanged, proposed match, user decision, and link to accounting record. Then a future rule change can rebuild a report without erasing what actually arrived from the bank or card company.
Verification
Confirm the authorized data route with the bank, card company, or open-banking provider.
