Receive-side automation
Software and agent workflows that help a supplier complete the work after a buyer initiates payment: receipt, remittance capture, processing, matching, reconciliation, exception handling, and accounting output.
Reference / B2B payments
A glossary for the work after “paid.”
Common terms in supplier-side payment receipt, cash application, reconciliation, payment acceptance, and controlled automation.
Cash application
The accounting process of matching received funds and remittance detail to the correct customer accounts and open invoices, then recording the result in the ERP or accounting system.
Remittance data
The information that explains what a payment covers, such as invoice numbers, amounts, deductions, credits, payer references, and payment details. Remittance often arrives separately from the funds.
Unapplied cash
Money a supplier has received but cannot yet match confidently to the right customer or invoices. It is visible in the bank but not fully recognized in accounts receivable.
Virtual card payment
A card-funded B2B payment delivered through a single-use or controlled card number. Suppliers may need to retrieve the card, process it, locate remittance, reconcile fees and settlement, and post the net result.
Straight-through processing (STP)
A payment workflow that completes without manual re-entry or intervention. True supplier-side STP includes the path through receipt, remittance, matching, reconciliation, and posting—not only payment initiation.
Payment acceptance control
Rules that let a supplier decide when and how to accept a payment method based on customer, invoice, timing, fee tolerance, economics, confidence, and approval policy.
ERP-ready output
Validated, structured payment and remittance data that includes the coding, matches, exceptions, approvals, and provenance needed for review or posting into an ERP or accounting system.
Payment orchestration
Policy-aware selection and routing across payment methods, processors, acceptance options, and workflows. In Argentic’s supplier-side context, orchestration should account for acceptance likelihood, economics, remittance quality, controls, and accounting outcomes.
Human in the loop
A controlled automation pattern where people review, approve, or resolve actions when confidence, authority, risk, or policy requires judgment. Automation expands only as reliability and trust are proven.
