The handoff

A proposed organization note with relevant payment context, matched customer, and exceptions visible, held until an owner approves it.

Keep in mind

Payment records can be pending, reversed, duplicated, or matched to the wrong person or organization. Verify status and currency, minimize payment and personal details, reconcile the match, and approve the exact note before it is added to a customer record.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose payment records and review timing

Define the activity types and date range to include and how often the team wants to prepare a reconciliation note.

Set matching and note-content rules

Agree which customer and organization details establish a match and which payment fields may appear in a note.

Assign finance reviewers

Name who resolves uncertain matches and who approves notes added to customer records.

Test completed, pending, and reversed payments

Check common statuses, duplicate activity, and missing customer matches before relying on the review queue.
