Reconciliation

Why it exists

Between a buyer paying at the door and a seller receiving a transfer, money passes through several hands and several days. Cash gets miscounted, an order gets marked delivered when it was returned, a partial payment gets recorded as full. None of this is unusual. What matters is whether it is caught.

Reconciliation is the control that catches it. Without it, a seller has no way to tell the difference between a fee and a loss.

What sellers should check every cycle

• Does the number of delivered orders match the number you were paid for?
• Does the collected amount on each order match its price?
• Are returns recorded as returns rather than quietly deducted?
• Do the fees charged match the rate card you agreed?

How MDM Express handles it

Every order carries its collected amount through the system, so the settlement statement is built from order-level records rather than a warehouse total. Inventory is tracked at 99.6% accuracy, which is what makes the stock side of the same question answerable.
