Supplier statement reconciliation

Get every supplier statement under control.

Request missing statements, compare them with your purchase ledger and see which suppliers match, differ or still need attention.

How Numra reconciles supplier statements.

Get statements from your suppliers without the chasing.

Choose which suppliers should send statements and when Numra should request them.

Numra sends requests from your company's mailbox, follows up on missing statements and stops reminders when a statement arrives.

You can also request individual statements whenever needed, or ask Numra to request them through Claude or ChatGPT.

Your team can see which suppliers have responded and which are still outstanding.

Read supplier statements from your inbox or uploads.

Numra picks up supplier statements from your connected mailbox or lets your team upload them.

It reads PDF, Excel, CSV and scanned statements, identifying the supplier, statement period, transactions and closing balance.

Numra checks that the extracted figures add up. If something does not reconcile within the statement itself, it flags the issue for review.

The original statement remains available alongside the extracted information.

Compare supplier statements against your purchase ledger.

Numra compares statement transactions with bills, credits and payments in your accounting system.

It matches invoice references, amounts and dates, including payments recorded against several bills.

Comparisons use the statement date, so payments made afterwards don't create false differences.

Numra compares against the whole ledger, including bills entered outside Numra. When accounting records change, it checks affected statements again after synchronisation.

See what differs and follow up on missing items.

See which suppliers are matched, which have discrepancies and which haven't sent a statement.

Open any supplier to see the transactions behind the difference, with a clear explanation of the outstanding items.

Add notes, mark items as resolved and prepare an email requesting missing invoices or credit notes.

Export a monthly reconciliation report with supplier balances, differences, notes and supporting statements.

Questions about Supplier Statement Reconciliation

What is supplier statement reconciliation?

Supplier statement reconciliation is the process of comparing a supplier's statement of account with the bills, credit notes and payments recorded in your purchase ledger. It helps identify missing transactions, differences in amounts and supplier balances that need attention.

What is a supplier statement?

A supplier statement is a summary of transactions and the balance a supplier believes a customer owes at a particular date. It commonly includes invoices, credit notes, payments and an outstanding balance.

How do you reconcile a supplier statement?

Compare the transactions and closing balance on the supplier statement with the corresponding records in your purchase ledger at the statement date. Investigate missing invoices, credits, payments and amount differences, then correct any accounting issues in the ledger.

How often should supplier statements be reconciled?

Many finance teams reconcile supplier statements monthly as part of their month-end process. Numra lets you choose which suppliers to include and when to request their statements.

What causes differences between supplier statements and the ledger?

Common causes include invoices or credit notes not yet recorded, payments allocated differently, duplicate transactions, amount differences and transactions recorded in different periods.

Does Numra reconcile the purchase ledger control account?

No. Numra compares individual supplier statements with the corresponding supplier transactions and balances in the purchase ledger. Reconciling the purchase ledger control account with the general ledger is a separate accounting process.

What happens if a supplier doesn't send a statement?

Numra can request statements from selected suppliers on a schedule and send reminders when they haven't arrived. Your team can also request individual statements manually.

Does Numra create bills from missing statement lines?

No. Numra identifies invoices and credit notes that appear on a supplier statement but are missing from the ledger. Your team can request copies and process them through its normal accounts payable workflow.

Does Numra match bills that weren't processed through Numra?

Yes. Numra compares statements against the supported accounting ledger, including bills entered directly into the accounting system or through other software.

What about payments made after the statement date?

Numra compares transactions as at the supplier statement date. Payments recorded after that date are not treated as differences in the earlier reconciliation.

What happens when Numra finds a difference?

Numra shows the transactions behind the difference, allows your team to add notes and can prepare an email requesting missing documents. Your team resolves any underlying accounting issues in its ledger.

Can I use supplier statement reconciliation through Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Numra MCP lets authorised users check which statements are missing, review reconciliation statuses, understand differences and prepare supplier requests through Claude or ChatGPT.
