Review Workflow

How to review, approve, and manage AI-suggested transaction matches.

The review workflow is where AI meets human judgment. Beel suggests matches, and you make the final call — approve, reject, or override.

Reviewing Matches

The Review Interface

Each reconciliation shows a list of transactions with their match status:

  • Matched — AI has suggested an invoice match
  • Unmatched — No match found
  • Reviewed — You've already made a decision

Click any matched transaction to see the full details.

Side-by-Side Comparison

The detail view shows:

  • Bank transaction — Date, amount, description, counterparty, balance
  • Matched invoice — Vendor, invoice number, amount, date
  • Confidence score — How sure the AI is about this match
  • Match reasons — Why this match was suggested
  • Amount difference — Variance between transaction and invoice amounts

Actions

Approve a Match

Click Approve when the suggested match is correct. The transaction and invoice are linked, and both are marked as reconciled.

Reject a Match

Click Reject when the suggestion is wrong. The transaction returns to the unmatched pool, and you can manually assign a different invoice.

Manual Override

If you know a better match exists, override the AI suggestion. Select a different invoice from your database to link to the transaction.

Mark as Unmatched

For transactions that genuinely don't correspond to any invoice (bank fees, transfers, etc.), mark them as Unmatched and add a note explaining why.

Review Notes

Add notes to any match decision for future reference:

  • "Bank fee — no corresponding invoice"
  • "Partial payment, remainder expected next month"
  • "Matched manually — vendor name differs on statement"

Notes are preserved in the audit trail and visible to all team members.

Audit Trail

Every decision is logged with:

  • Reviewer — Who made the decision
  • Timestamp — When it was made
  • Action — Approved, rejected, or overridden
  • Notes — Any explanation provided
  • Original suggestion — What the AI proposed (preserved even after override)

This creates a complete paper trail for auditors, compliance, and internal reviews.

Reconciliation Report

Once you've reviewed all transactions, export a complete reconciliation report including:

  • All matched transactions with invoice details
  • Unmatched transactions with notes
  • Amount variance analysis
  • Audit trail of all decisions
  • Statement metadata (bank, period, account)

Tips for Efficient Review

  • Start with high-confidence matches — Approve these quickly to clear the bulk
  • Review low-confidence matches carefully — These need the most attention
  • Use notes consistently — Future-you will thank you during audit season
  • Process regularly — Monthly reconciliation is faster than quarterly
