How it works

From remittance advice to posted cash receipt, hands-free.

Remittance capture: reading remittance advice
1
Remittance capture
The agent reads remittance advice from email, EDI 820 files, payment portals, and PDFs the moment they arrive. Extracts invoice references, payment amounts, and payer details from any format.
Payment to invoice matching
2
Payment matching
Matches every payment to open invoices. Handles 1-to-1, one payment covering multiple invoices, and partial payments. Fuzzy matching catches missing or garbled invoice numbers without manual lookup.
Deduction handling and short pay coding
3
Deduction handling
Flags short pays and deductions before anything posts. Codes each by type (pricing dispute, damaged goods, freight allowance) and routes to the right owner in Teams or Slack with full context.
ERP cash receipt posting
4
ERP posting
Posts the cash receipt to AR in SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, or QuickBooks. Closes matched invoices, updates aging, and sends remittance confirmations back to the customer. No manual entry.

Capabilities

Handles all the remittance formats your customers send, and the exceptions they don't warn you about.

Multi-source remittance reading

Reads remittance advice from email bodies, EDI 820 files, payment portal exports, and scanned PDFs. No template setup per customer or payment format.

Fuzzy invoice matching

Matches payments when invoice numbers are missing, truncated, or formatted differently. Combines exact logic with AI for the cases rules can't catch.

Short pay and deduction coding

Identifies short pays before posting and codes each deduction by type (pricing dispute, freight allowance, damaged goods, early payment discount). Learns from your coding history.

Overpayment handling

Flags overpayments and applies them as credits or routes for refund per your policy. Never posts an open balance without a resolution path.

Customer dispute routing

Deductions and disputes route to the right owner in Slack or Teams with the payment detail, the matched invoice, and the deduction code. The agent learns from every resolution.

Direct AR posting

Posts cash receipts to SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, QuickBooks, and Dynamics 365 via native API. Closes matched invoices, updates aging, and sends remittance confirmations to customers.
