Reconciliation

Journal lines hold source event IDs, occurrence dates, amounts and account references. The reviewer compares each movement with a confirmed instruction linked to the same account. An exact amount and occurrence date are required for a match. Exceptions remain visible instead of being pushed into a matched state to make a balance appear clean.

• Identify the work. Keep each provider movement’s event ID and account identity.
• Keep the evidence. Compare only with a Confirmed instruction linked to the same account.
• Handle the result. Use exact amount and confirmed occurrence date before changing a movement to Matched.

Use provider balance snapshots for a dated account comparison. The as-of date and snapshot identifier make the comparison reproducible. Agree how signed confirmed movements affect opening and closing balances and how a reviewer investigates a difference. Keep the provider event ID intact so repeat imports can be recognized.

Agree which provider event ID is authoritative and how signed confirmed movements affect account balances. Preserve the as-of date and provider snapshot ID. The Accounting Reviewer should be able to reproduce an unmatched decision from the source date and amount.

Take a confirmed instruction and a provider event for the same account. Compare amount and confirmed date before matching. Then change the provider event date in a rehearsal: leave that event unmatched or mark it exceptional, and show the difference in the account snapshot review.

Take a movement and a Confirmed instruction linked to the same account. Compare the US dollar amount with the confirmed provider event and compare the occurrence dates. Mark the movement Matched only if both agree. Change the event date in a second case, leave it Unmatched or Exception, and investigate the dated account snapshot separately.

A match requires a Confirmed instruction and a movement on the same account. The reviewer should use the provider event’s occurrence date, not the date someone entered the movement. Keep a different date or amount open for investigation and preserve the source event ID for any later correction.

• Unmatched movements — Show Unmatched and Exception movements by account and event ID.
• Account snapshots — Compare dated ledger and available balances for the account.

Follow the instruction lifecycle for the complete handoff. Use implementation to agree provider evidence and access before the first live cycle. The data model lists the parent and related records to prepare for migration.
