 * Match payments to open invoices using customer remittance advice; apply per remittance detail exactly as provided.
 * Post payments with missing or incomplete remittance to the customer account as unapplied cash and route to the AR Reconciliation Specialist within one business day - do not hold payments unposted while researching.

 * Reconcile daily cash postings to bank deposits and lockbox totals; resolve posting-to-deposit variances the same day.
 * Flag short payments, overpayments, and unidentified payments to the AR Reconciliation Specialist with supporting remittance images.
 * Maintain organized digital records of remittance advice, deposit slips, and payment backup for audit support.
 * Process customer refund requests for approval (approval and disbursement handled by management/AP).
 * Support month-end close by ensuring all cash received in the period is posted before the AR cutoff.
