It prepares the reminder, retains the response and routes payment evidence for reconciliation, keeping differences visible until payment is confirmed. ## Every outstanding balance has a next action. ### 1. Check what is owed and since when Check invoices, due dates and payments in the agreed sources. Organize receivables by age and flag inconsistent balances. Before preparing contact, staff can review the amount to request. Receivables with reviewable balances and due dates. ### 2. Prepare a reminder for that invoice The reminder includes the amount, reference and due date. The collection stage determines tone and next contact. Delivery follows the channel, hours and frequency configured for your operation. A reminder linked to the correct balance. ### 3. Record the customer’s reply Payment promises keep a date and next step; clarification requests keep their reason and owner. Payment evidence stays with the account. Discounts, disputes and special agreements go to an authorized decision-maker. A response the next collector can pick up. ### 4. Close when payment is verified Compare evidence, amount and reference with the enabled accounting or bank source. Update the balance after verifiable confirmation. Differences remain under review to avoid marking an invoice paid too early. A confirmed payment or a discrepancy assigned for review. ## Aging helps organize the day Invoices, balances and due dates help prioritize receivables. Staff can distinguish newly overdue accounts from those with previous collection actions and review history before contacting them again. ## Promises have a date Record what the customer promised to pay and when. The next contact keeps the previous response and open questions, so a change of owner does not restart collection. ## Payment evidence supports reconciliation Received images or files stay with the invoice to check amount and reference. Payment status depends on the agreed accounting validation, with discrepancies retained for review. ## Integrations ERP · Billing · Accounts receivable · CRM We define invoice and payment sources and who confirms reconciliation.

Not by default. Any such action needs an explicit rule, appropriate permissions and outcome verification; it can remain entirely under human review. ### What happens when the customer disputes an invoice? The case is identified as an inquiry, available evidence is gathered and it is routed to the owner. Follow-up must adjust to the agreed policy to avoid inappropriate persistence. ### How is a payment confirmed? A customer message or receipt is not sufficient on its own. Confirmation depends on reconciliation or validation in the authorized financial source. --- Book a demo: https://useatiende.ai/en/demo Contact: ventas@useatiende.ai · https://useatiende.ai/en/contacto Sitemap: https://useatiende.ai/sitemap.xml · llms.txt: https://useatiende.ai/llms.txt
