# How to reconcile a supplier statement to your purchase invoice records in Sage 50

Sage 50 has no statement import or automatic matching. Reconciling is manual. Run Aged Creditors or the supplier Activity screen at the statement date and tick off each line by hand.

Supplier statement reconciliation means comparing the supplier's list of what you owe with your own bills, credits and payments and explaining every difference.

## The Sage 50 way

Where to find it: Suppliers > supplier record > Activity, and Reporting > Aged Creditors

1. Run Aged Creditors (or the supplier Activity screen) at the statement date.
2. Tick off each statement line against the ledger by hand.
3. Allocate unmatched payments and credits so the balance agrees.

## Limits in Sage 50

- No statement import or automatic matching found.

## The Pulsify way

1. Forward the supplier statement to Pulsify. It recognises supplier statements.
2. Pulsify matches each statement line to bills and credit notes in Sage 50 and Pulsify.
3. It shows what is missing, what does not match and how the balance ties out.
4. Ask the supplier for missing documents, then approve the bills you agree.

Pulsify connects to Sage 50. We set up the connection for you.

What Pulsify does not do here:

- Pulsify shows the differences. You decide what to pay.

## Common mistakes

- Running Aged Creditors at a different date from the statement.
- Leaving payments and credits unallocated, so the balance will not agree.
