Payment evidence reconciliation

The Finance Reviewer uses provider events to investigate the payment position of a booking. The provider reference and event identity give the team a starting point for checking the source. Read the type and amount in the context of the booking's actual customer and operating outcome.

Step by step

  1. Identify the booking Finance Reviewer

    The Finance Reviewer locates the booking associated with the provider event and checks its customer, quoted USD amount and service outcome. Resolve an ambiguous match before treating the event as evidence for that booking.

    • Provider evidence matched to customer service
    • Updates Bookings, Payment evidence
  2. Inspect the provider event Finance Reviewer

    Check the provider event identifier, reference, occurrence time, USD amount and type. Authorization, Capture, Refund and Void are distinct events. Compare the source with the retained information before marking it verified.

    • Event type, amount and verification checked
    • Updates Payment evidence
  3. Reconcile related evidence Finance Reviewer

    Group the booking's events by their type and provider identity. Investigate repeated notifications or conflicting amounts with the provider's responsible operator. Ask the Booking Coordinator to attach supporting material to the booking so another reviewer can follow the reconciliation.

    • Finance investigates; coordinator attaches supporting files
    • Updates Payment evidence, Record attachments
  4. Hand back the outcome Finance Reviewer

    The Finance Reviewer explains the reconciled evidence or remaining question to the Booking Coordinator and Operations Manager. A refund or void decision is carried out through the configured provider process; retain the resulting event when it becomes available.

    • Customer follow-up uses the reconciled evidence
    • Updates Bookings, Payment evidence, Record attachments

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Wrong interpretation. An authorization amount is discussed as though it were a captured payment.
  • Duplicate notification. Repeated provider evidence is counted again during a booking review.
  • Currency confusion. The organization's wider operating currency is assumed to change the USD meaning of a stored booking quote or payment amount.
