PAYMENT RECORD REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring successful payments into your accounting review.

When a payment is confirmed, gather the associated customer and transaction details and check whether a matching customer record already exists. Prepare a proposed customer record when needed and a sales receipt with the payment amount and currency so an accounting owner can confirm the match and details before records are changed.

Keep in mind

Incorrect customer matching or transaction details can create financial and accounting errors. Verify the customer identity, amount, currency, item descriptions, and applicable accounting treatment against trusted records. An authorized accounting owner must approve changes before they are saved or any receipt is sent to a customer.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved payment and accounting records

Identify the accounts in scope and the person responsible for reviewing customer and transaction information.

Define customer matching and receipt fields

Agree which details identify an existing customer and which transaction fields belong on a proposed receipt.

Set approval and customer-message boundaries

Name who may approve record changes and receipts, and who reviews any customer-facing message.

Test existing, new, and uncertain customers

Check sample transactions with clear and ambiguous matches, different currencies, and missing details before using the process.
