Guidance note

Supplier statement reconciliation method

Reviewed by ConstructionIntel on 14 June 2026.

A supplier statement reconciliation compares the statement balance with the invoices, credit notes and payments you can prove. The basic check is invoice total minus credit note total minus payment total, then compare that expected balance with the supplier statement. Any remaining difference needs the supplier's underlying lines, a missing credit note, a missing payment allocation or an invoice row check before month end.

Add invoice rows by reference and amount, then look for repeated invoice references before paying.

Subtract credit notes and payments from the invoice total to calculate the expected statement balance.

Compare the expected balance with the supplier statement and treat any unexplained difference as a paperwork question, not proof of overcharging.

Keep the result with the accountant pack so the supplier statement, invoices, credits and payments can be checked together.

What happens next

If it looks odd, send the invoice.

You get a plain-English reconciliation summary, missing paperwork prompts and the option to send the statement and invoices for a closer look.
