Priority signals
The biggest issues in the current review.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable reconciliation that shows which vendors actually break the tie-out.
Compare AP aging against GL AP balances in your browser to find vendor gaps, material differences, stale 90+ balances, and debit-balance vendors.
Direct answerAn accounts payable reconciliation tool compares vendor balances from AP aging and the GL to isolate missing vendors, material differences, stale payables, and debit-balance exceptions.

1. Load both sides of the comparison
Dual inputUse one AP aging export and one GL-side AP export. The tool aligns sign conventions, groups by vendor, and ranks the vendor balances that still need explanation.

Useful before a full close platform
This page is built for the common AP problem: the exports exist, but the vendor-level tie-out still lives in a spreadsheet.

What this AP reconciliation tool is built to solve
The problem is not generating two reports. The problem is knowing which vendors are missing, misstated, stale, or sitting in debit-balance territory before sign-off.
Missing vendorsSurface vendors that show up on only one side of the tie-out.
Material differencesRank the vendors where aging and GL balances do not agree.
Stale or debit-balance vendorsKeep 90+ balances and debit-style exceptions visible in the same queue.
Priority queue
Highest-value items first.
Review insights

Detailed explorer
Search the reviewed rows directly in the browser.
The functional interface stays above the guide so users solve the task before they read.
The result includes enough context to defend the next review step.
The page is useful immediately without a platform rollout.
The page uses the same visual system as the main Ledger Summit site.
Guide Below The Tool
How to use accounts payable reconciliation well
Written for searchers, answer engines, and finance teams that need the answer first and context second.
An accounts payable reconciliation tool compares vendor balances from AP aging and the GL to isolate missing vendors, material differences, stale payables, and debit-balance exceptions.
Controllers, AP leads, accountants, and finance teams tying AP aging to the GL.
Vendor names, signed balances, and aging buckets drive the quality of the vendor-level tie-out.
Workflow
Four practical steps
Use the tool as a first-pass answer layer before you move into a larger workpaper or review memo.
1
Load the real inputs first.Use the export or assumptions that match the actual reconciliation or planning question you are answering.
2
Run the tool before you open a bigger workbook.The point is to isolate the first answer quickly, then decide whether a larger workpaper is still necessary.
3
Review the summary and the detailed queue together.The summary shows the headline issue while the queue or table shows what to inspect next.
4
Export only what needs to move downstream.Use the browser result as the first review layer, then move the queue into the close file or review deck if needed.
Review Checklist
What reviewers usually validate first
These are the areas reviewers usually check first once the initial result is visible.
Check that the mapped export or assumptions actually represent the population you want to review.
Most reconciliation mistakes start with sign conventions, date windows, or period cut-off assumptions.
The highest-value unresolved items should be handled before low-dollar cleanup.
If the result will be reviewed later, make sure the exported queue carries enough context to defend the follow-up.
One-sided balances, stale items, duplicate patterns, and blank fields usually deserve explicit follow-up.
After the first-pass tool result, decide whether the issue needs a journal entry, a recon note, or a deeper workpaper.
The functional interface stays above the guide so users solve the immediate task before they read.
The page explains the result instead of dumping raw rows or one isolated metric.
Ledger Summit can extend this into a richer internal workflow later, but the browser tool is already usable now.
