Cash application automation FAQs

Cash application automation software is a digital solution that allows cash application tasks to be completed without the need for direct human involvement. With automated cash application, technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning work together to match payment data to open receivables. It is also frequently included alongside other accounts receivable solutions such as invoicing, collections, and payment processing.

The cash application process in accounts receivable involves six steps:


Step 1: Your AR team prepares an invoice requesting payment for a goods or services order and sends it to your customer—via email, mail or courier, fax, cloud-based portal or in person.


Step 2: You receive a payment via a check, wire transfer, credit card payment, automated clearing house (ACH), electronic data interchange (EDI) or corporate trade exchange (CTX).


Step 3: Your customer sends remittances (which specify why the payment was made or for what invoices) either with the payment in the case of checks or separately via emails, Excel files, PDFs, web portals or image scans.


Step 4: All the data needs to be reconciled to ensure the information from the invoices and remittances matches with the payments made, either manually or through an automated process. Any discrepancies (for instance in the event a customer has made a partial payment) need to be investigated and resolved.


Step 5: Once reconciled, the payment gets officially recorded in your company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, where day-to-day business operations such as accounting are managed. Step 6: The finished work and process is reviewed to look for any ways to optimize it. Your AR team might also send receipt of payment to customers.

Cash application automation offers a substantial number of advantages:


  1. Enhance efficiency: By automatically capturing and analyzing remittance data, you save significant time, and can reallocate resources to more strategic tasks.
  2. Increase accuracy: AI and machine learning technology become more accurate the more they’re used, helping achieve 90%+ straight-through processing rates.
  3. Lower operational costs: Intelligent payments carry both payment instructions and complete remittance information to reduce AR costs by up to 50%.
  4. Accelerate cash flow: Achieve same-day cash application and posting to enable faster credit replenishment, increased sales, and improved DSO.

Automating cash application solves many different challenges:


  1. Inefficient processes: Accomplish tasks faster with digital capabilities that outpace human inputs.
  2. Inaccurate data: Avoid mismatches by allowing optical character recognition and AI to compensate for missing or illegible data in payment and remittance documents.
  3. Costly labor: Stop paying teams of clerks to spend endless hours manually inputting and analyzing data.
