Have AI match incoming payments to open invoices

Accounting matches incoming payments to open invoices automatically

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsAutomating processes with AI agentsAll industries

Fits: Finance & accounting

Clear-cut payments are already matched in the morning. You only deal with part payments, bulk transfers and payments without an invoice number.

Is this for you?

  • You have many incoming payments every day, and most carry the invoice number or customer number in the payment reference.
  • Bank statements reach your accounting electronically, and the open items are maintained there.
First step today

Make up six open invoices and six incoming payments, including a part payment, a bulk payment and one with an early payment discount, and have them matched using the template below. Check whether the AI flags uncertain cases as uncertain.

How to go about it

  1. Write down your matching step by step
  2. Clarify bank data, accounting and permissions
  3. Set up the agent with your matching rules
  4. Confirm every match at first
  5. Have clear-cut cases posted automatically
  6. Review mismatches and remaining items
