• Apply payments to purchase orders and maintain accurate internal tracking records to ensure inventory-related transactions are properly documented.
• Assemble and execute payment batches, including scheduled disbursements, while verifying completeness and accuracy prior to release.
• Process customer refunds and credit-related transactions, ensuring each item is tied to the correct original sale and reflected in the proper customer account.
• Classify credit memos and refund activity accurately and identify items that require further review when balances or supporting details do not align.
• Prepare and distribute credit card transaction reports to employees, collect documentation, and monitor timely submission of receipts and responses.
• Reconcile credit card statements and bank-related activity on a bi-weekly basis by matching transactions to accounting records and resolving exceptions.
• Create journal entries from reconciled credit card activity and post or import them into the accounting system with appropriate supporting documentation.
• Investigate unmatched transactions, communicate with cardholders or stakeholders to obtain missing information, and escalate unresolved discrepancies as needed.
