Marketplace settlements
The order was fine. The accounting was not.
Who it is for
Marketplaces, delivery partners and retailers whose settlements are rebuilt by hand.
The problem
A marketplace pays a net amount weeks after the sale, less fees, refunds and adjustments. Finance rebuilds the statement so the ledger will match the bank. The blueprint is the posting order that removes that rebuild: order, clearing, fulfilment, settlement match, fees, and the balance released to the bank.
