Reconciliation? Learn the Calculation!

29 September 2022 Billing Collection

When a customer settles their outstanding invoice neatly in one go through a SEPA direct debit or an iDEAL payment, automating the matching process with the open invoice is a breeze. But what happens when the customer manually makes a payment, perhaps not transferring the full amount, using a different account number, or forgetting to mention the invoice number?

Smart Matching

In practice, many companies dealing with large invoice volumes require multiple full-time employees to handle such payments. Additionally, a significant portion of incoming queries revolves around outstanding invoices. In a time where finding enough skilled staff is a challenge in itself, optimizing this process, minimizing manual actions, and preventing unnecessary customer inquiries is crucial.

By smartly configuring the reconciliation process in the order-to-cash chain, you can often automatically match a much larger portion of incoming payments than is currently the case. Smart matching based on previously used account numbers, parts of the invoice number, or customer ID, for instance, can provide a solution.

When should you send your first B2B payment reminder?

When you contact your customer before the invoice becomes overdue, you can prevent payment reminders. At FIQAS, we call this principle ‘Action Before Collection’. This approach allows you to resolve potential issues early, ensuring payments are processed smoothly.
