What to provide

Authorized opening/closing AR balances, invoices, receipts, credits, write-offs and GL/subledger exports for one entity and period.

Workflow

  1. Align cutoff, entity and currency. Separate unposted documents from posted balances.
  2. Calculate opening AR plus invoices minus receipts minus credits minus write-offs. Retain source IDs.
  3. Compare expected closing AR with both subledger and GL. Classify timing and allocation differences without netting them away.
  4. Return unresolved differences for the bookkeeper. Do not post journals, write off balances or send collection notices.

Output contract

period | opening AR | invoices | receipts | credits | write-offs | expected close | actual close | difference | source

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional opening 100 invoices 50 receipts 30 credits 10 writeoffs 5 gives 105. ActualGL 110 leaves 5 unexplained; do not invent a 5 write-off.

Review gates and limits

Reconcile signs and period; re-test a receipt posted after cutoff and keep it out of this period.
