Shift

Apply customer payments accurately and timely against the correct invoices, credit notes, debit items, and other open receivables. Review remittance advice and payment references to identify customer, invoice, shipment, booking, or account details required for application.

Validate payments against bank statements and ensure all received funds are accounted for and appropriately posted. Research unidentified/unallocated payments by coordinating with customers, Collections, Treasury, Sales, and other stakeholders to obtain payment details. Monitor and clear on-account balances by identifying the appropriate invoices and obtaining customer confirmation where required.

Handle payment-related cases within agreed SLA and provide accurate responses/resolutions to customers and internal stakeholders. Ensure payments are posted to the correct customer account, invoice, currency, amount, and legal entity while maintaining high accuracy.

Prioritize and resolve aged unidentified and on-account payments, particularly items exceeding 30/60/90/180 days.
