Invoice-to-Cash

The complete cycle from open invoice to applied cash

Invoice-to-Cash is more than sending reminders. Kovify AR follows each invoice through follow-up, conversation, disputes, cash application exceptions and resolution — then pushes the outcome back into your books.

Hello Susan — invoice #10428 for $35,000 is now 42 days past due. Could you confirm the scheduled payment date? Copy of the invoice attached.

We can't pay the full amount. PO 8841 was short-shipped by 3 pallets, so $4,200 is in dispute.

Thank you — I've logged a short-shipment dispute for $4,200 and routed it to our team. Can you release the undisputed $30,800 this week?

Daniel Ruiz · AR Manager

Susan, credit for the 3 pallets is approved and will post today. Confirming the $30,800 for Friday.

Dispute management

Disputes detected, routed and resolved

Kovify identifies a dispute in the customer's reply, categorizes it, assigns an owner, sets internal follow-up dates and tracks it to resolution.

01

Dispute detected

Identified inside the customer reply

02

Categorized

Short shipment · pricing · quality · billing

03

Assigned

Owner set by routing rules

04

Internal follow-up

Due dates and escalation path

05

Customer communication

Update sent in the same thread

06

Resolution

Credit, correction or rejection, fully logged

Identification

Detected from customer replies and account context.

Routing

Assigned to the internal owner responsible for that category.

Due dates

Internal follow-up dates and escalation if it stalls.

Resolution tracking

Cash applications

Paid, but still open on your books

Missing remittance, unknown credits, unapplied cash and payment mismatches get investigated as structured work items instead of email archaeology.

Customer already paid

Invoice still open on the sub-ledger

Match payment reference and close

Missing remittance

Lump-sum wire with no invoice detail

Request remittance in-thread

Unknown credit

Credit memo not tied to an invoice

Identify source and apply

Unapplied cash

Cash on account, invoices still aging

Apply against oldest eligible

Payment mismatch

Short pay vs. invoice total

Investigate deduction or dispute

Advanced capability

Multi-company environments

Organizations that manage several companies or legal entities can switch between environments while keeping customers, receivables, policies, workflows, teams and reporting fully separate. Multi-company is available as an advanced capability or add-on — not every business needs it.

Customers kept separate

Receivables kept separate

Policies kept separate

Workflows kept separate

Teams kept separate

Reporting kept separate
