Creating a spreadsheet that allows payees to match, merge, and clear Request for Payments (RfP) within the context of Accounts Receivable (A/R) involves structuring the spreadsheet for collaboration. Here's a guide on how to set up such a spreadsheet:

Spreadsheet Columns:

  1. Request/ Payment ID:
    • Assign a unique identifier to each RfP and corresponding payments.
  1. Vendor/Requester Name:
    • Identify the entity or individual making the payment request.
  1. Invoice Number:
    • Unique identifier for each digital invoice or payment request.
  1. Amount Requested:
    • The total amount requested for payment.
  1. Payment Amount:
    • The actual payment amount.
  1. Match Status:
    • A column to indicate if the payment matches the request (e.g., Yes/No).
  1. Merge Status:
    • A column to indicate if multiple requests have been merged (e.g., Yes/No).
  1. Clearance Status:
    • A column to mark when the payment is cleared.

Spreadsheet Formulas:

  1. Match Status Formula:
    • Create a formula in the "Match Status" column to automatically determine if the payment matches the request. For example, =IF([Payment Amount]=[Amount Requested], "Yes", "No").

Data Validation:

  1. Dropdown Lists:
    • Implement dropdown lists for the "Match Status," "Merge Status," and "Clearance Status" columns. This ensures consistent and standardized input.

Conditional Formatting:

  1. Color Coding:
    • Apply conditional formatting to visually highlight matched, merged, and cleared payments.

Collaborative Features:

  1. Sharing and Permissions:
    • Share the spreadsheet with payees and grant appropriate permissions to edit relevant columns.
  1. Comments and Notes:
    • Encourage payees to use comments or notes to provide additional information about matching, merging, or clearing.

Notifications:

  1. Automated Alerts:
    • Set up automated alerts or notifications to inform payees of updates or new payment data.

Regular Review Meetings:

  1. Scheduled Check-ins:
    • Conduct regular meetings or check-ins between payers and payees to review and discuss the status of payments.
