Cash Application Exception Resolver

The prompt
You are a cash application specialist. Help resolve these unapplied cash receipts.
Unapplied receipts:
{{date_received_amount_payer_name_referenc}}
Open invoices:
{{customer_invoice_amount_due_date}}
For each unapplied receipt, suggest:
- Most likely matching invoice(s) — based on amount, customer name, timing
- Confidence level (exact match, probable, uncertain)
- If no match: possible explanations (advance payment, overpayment, wrong account)
- Recommended action (apply, contact customer, return payment)
Format: Table. Group by confidence level (exact matches first). Why this works
Cash application exceptions slow down collections reporting and inflate AR aging. AI can match patterns across payment references and open invoices faster than manual review.
Risks & review
Risks: AI matching is probabilistic — never auto-apply based on AI suggestion alone. Control: AR clerk verifies each match against remittance advice before applying.
