Four runs, one tied total

Money leaves in runs, and most teams stop reconciling at the bank file. May’s four runs sum to 816,800.00, the roll-forward’s paid line to the cent, and the discount score prices what stuck invoices cost: 1,230.00 that expired while bills waited.

RuleReconcile every payment run to the roll-forward’s paid line, and price the discounts: offered, taken, and lost, with the lost ones named to their invoices.

Nevercelebrate discounts taken without counting discounts lost. The 1,230.00 that expired on held invoices is the cost of every slow process upstream.

The runs are the rhythm; the reconciliation is the point. Every settlement ties, and the lost discounts get named.

◆ May, the four runssumming to the paid line exactly.

Run	Paid
Run 1, week one	198,400.00
Run 2, week two	224,750.00
Run 3, week three	187,300.00
Run 4, week four	206,350.00
Paid in May	816,800.00

The total is the roll-forward’s paid line to the cent, which is the reconciliation that keeps treasury and the subledger telling one story. Four runs, four files to the bank, one number the module already promised. Sample values are illustrative, never client data.

◆ The discount scoreoffered, taken, and the expensive kind of lost.

Early-payment discounts, May	Amount
Taken	4,890.00
Lost	1,230.00
Offered	6,120.00

The lost 1,230.00 has addresses: discounts expire on invoices stuck in the match queue or waiting on approvals. Pricing the loss monthly turns process friction into a number someone can be asked about, which is how friction actually gets fixed.

◆ The owned answerruns and terms as data.

Payments land on the supplier star with their run and applied invoices; terms live with the invoice lines. The run reconciliation and the discount score are both groupings, and the lost list names its invoices without anyone exporting anything.

Use case

Problem

Payment runs settle without reconciliation to the books, and discount performance is anecdotal, with the lost ones invisible because nobody prices them.

What we build

Runs reconciled to the roll-forward’s paid line by construction, and discounts scored monthly: offered, taken, lost, with each loss named to its stuck invoice.

What you get

Settlement treasury can trust, a discount score that survives an audit, and a named list that turns process friction into accountable money.

What did slow approvals cost you in discounts?

We build the run reconciliation and the discount score that answer monthly.
