What’s New in SIBRO

📌25 Mar, 2024 : Significant enhancement to SIBRO auto-reconciliation features

Previously, when auto reconciliation failed, it required the accounts team to identify and report any errors to the operations team, who then corrected them. Once corrected, the operations team would inform the accounts team, prompting them to reconcile again. However, this process posed two challenges: firstly, the accounts team had to maintain a list of unreconciled statements, and secondly, until an invoice was fully reconciled, related policies would display as ‘Uninvoiced’ in reports.

We are delighted to inform you that we’ve now revamped the Auto Reconciliation process to address these issues. The upgraded system will:

Please note that these enhancements are effective for all future Auto Reconciliations only, and do not apply to Manual Reconciliation.
