# Supplier statement reconciliation for S/4HANA

S/4HANA has no built-in supplier statement reconciliation. Pulsify reads each vendor statement, checks every line against your bills and credits and names what does not agree.

Supplier statement reconciliation means checking a supplier's vendor statement against the bills and credits in your books, so nothing is missing or paid twice.

## What S/4HANA does on its own

The SAP help does not describe a supplier statement import or reconciliation. People compare the supplier account line items with the supplier statement by hand.

## Setting it up in S/4HANA

1. Get the supplier statement from the supplier.
2. Display the supplier line items for the same period in the system.
3. Tick off each statement line against an open or cleared item by invoice reference.
4. List the lines that do not match.
5. Ask the supplier about missing invoices, or check for unposted invoices on your side.

## Good to know in S/4HANA

- S/4HANA has no statement import.
- Partner and add-on products cover statement reconciliation as a separate category.
- The match is by hand, so the invoice Reference field matters. Fill it in on every invoice.

## Common questions

### Does S/4HANA reconcile supplier statements?

The SAP help does not describe a statement import or reconcile screen. Teams compare supplier line items with the statement by hand or use an add-on.

### Which field helps me tick off statement lines?

The invoice Reference field. Filling it on every supplier invoice makes the statement lines easier to match.

### Can I see all open items for one supplier?

Yes. The supplier line items show open and cleared items, which you can compare with the statement.

### How often should I reconcile statements?

Monthly for your biggest suppliers, before the payment run. Start with the suppliers you pay the most.
