  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill to match cash activity to invoices and identify reconciliation exceptions.

  2. Distinctive:

    Do not post entries, apply payments, issue refunds, or write off balances.

    line 36
  3. Distinctive:

    Do not force-match weak evidence to clear a variance.

    line 37

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Payment Reconciliation

Use this skill to match cash activity to invoices and identify reconciliation exceptions.

Inputs

  • Bank export, processor payout report, or payment gateway export.
  • Invoice register, AR subledger, customer IDs, and payment references.
  • Remittance advice, lockbox files, or customer emails.
  • FX rates, fees, chargebacks, refunds, credits, and unapplied cash reports if available.

Workflow

  1. Normalize dates, currencies, customer names, references, invoice IDs, and amounts.
  2. Match using strongest evidence first: invoice ID, payment reference, customer ID, exact amount, remittance detail, then fuzzy name/date/amount matching.
  3. Separate fees, refunds, chargebacks, FX variance, partial payments, and overpayments.
  4. Assign match confidence: exact, strong, probable, weak, or unmatched.
  5. Prepare an exception list for manual review.

Output

Return:

  • Reconciliation summary: matched amount, unmatched amount, fees, refunds, and material exceptions.
  • Match table with payment, invoice, amount, date, confidence, and evidence.
  • Unmatched cash and unapplied credit queue.
  • Recommended journal or subledger action as a draft only, never posted.

Guardrails

  • Do not post entries, apply payments, issue refunds, or write off balances.
  • Do not force-match weak evidence to clear a variance.
  • Preserve original transaction IDs and source filenames.
  • Flag duplicate payments and suspicious activity for human review.
