Purplle Marketplace Reconciliation Using ERP

For finance teams handling Purplle marketplace reconciliation using ERP, the challenge is usually not a lack of data. It is the time it takes to compare marketplace reports with internal books, identify differences, and explain every open item clearly.

Cointab provides a structured reconciliation workflow for Purplle sellers that compares Side A internal ERP records with Side B marketplace reports. Finance teams can upload files, map fields once, run reconciliation, review matched and unmatched transactions, and export audit-ready reports for review, close, or follow-up.

Why Purplle marketplace reconciliation matters

Marketplace finance teams often need to reconcile multiple transaction views for the same business activity. A Purplle seller may track sales in the ERP, then compare those records with marketplace order, sales, payout, or settlement reports.

Without a structured reconciliation process, teams may rely on spreadsheets, manual lookups, and repeated file comparisons. That can make it harder to:

• confirm which orders were fully paid
• identify deductions, fees, returns, or adjustments
• trace missing settlements or missing invoices
• detect amount differences between marketplace and ERP records
• keep month-end reporting and audit review consistent

Cointab helps centralize this work in one reusable workflow.

Typical reports used in the reconciliation

A Purplle marketplace vs ERP setup usually brings together these kinds of files:

Side A: your ERP or internal records

These are the records your business expects to be correct.

Examples:

• ERP sales export
• invoice register
• order ledger
• accounts receivable report
• internal settlement working
• customer or SKU-level business data

Side B: Purplle marketplace records

These are the records received from the external platform.

Examples:

• Purplle order report
• Purplle sales report
• Purplle payout or settlement report
• return or adjustment files, where relevant

Supporting data can also be uploaded when needed, such as SKU mapping, product master data, fee reference files, or other lookup files used to enrich the main reports before reconciliation.

How the reconciliation works

Cointab follows a transparent workflow that finance teams can reuse for future periods.

1. Upload the ERP file on Side A and the Purplle report on Side B.
2. Select the required columns, such as date, amount, and order ID or invoice number.
3. Add supporting files if the workflow needs lookups, enrichment, or derived values.
4. Create derived columns if needed, using AI-assisted formula generation or standard field logic.
5. Run reconciliation manually or on a recurring schedule.
6. Review the results in a report dashboard.
7. Download the Excel report for internal review, audit support, or partner follow-up.

If a file is missed and received later, it can be added under the same reconciliation and the report can be refreshed.

What Cointab compares

A reconciliation setup can use identifiers such as:

• order ID
• invoice number
• transaction reference
• settlement ID
• payment reference
• SKU or product code

The reconciliation engine can compare records in different ways depending on the business logic.

It supports common transaction matching patterns such as:

• one-to-one matching
• one-to-many matching
• many-to-one matching
• many-to-many matching
• partial matching
• contra or net-to-net matching

This is useful when a marketplace settlement does not map to a single internal entry or when deductions, refunds, or grouped payouts need to be reviewed together.

Result categories finance teams can review

Cointab separates reconciliation output into clear buckets so teams can focus on exceptions.

Fully matched

These are transactions where the identifier and amount align according to the configured reconciliation logic.

Partially matched

These are transactions where the records appear related, but the amounts do not fully match. This can happen when fees, deductions, taxes, refunds, or rounding differences are present.

Unmatched

These are transactions found on one side but not the other. For example, an order may appear in ERP but not in the Purplle report, or a Purplle record may not be present in the ERP file.

Skipped

These are rows that were excluded from reconciliation because they were incomplete, invalid, duplicated, or missing required data.

Skipped rows remain visible so finance teams can see what was not included and why.

Common mismatch scenarios

Purplle marketplace reconciliation using ERP often surfaces issues such as:

• order present in ERP but missing in Purplle
• order present in Purplle but not in ERP
• sales amount and received amount not matching
• settlement amount lower than expected after deductions
• return, refund, or adjustment differences
• incomplete identifiers that make manual review necessary
• late or missed files that were not part of the original run

These exceptions are easier to manage when they are grouped by status instead of being buried in a large spreadsheet.

AI support for difficult open items

After structured matching is complete, Cointab can use AI to help analyze remaining open transactions.

This is useful when the available evidence is not strong enough for deterministic rules, but the item still needs review.

AI can help with:

• creating derived columns from natural-language instructions
• analyzing difficult open transactions
• suggesting possible reasons for mismatches
• identifying whether a file may be missing
• highlighting whether a refund, fee, delay, or deduction may explain the difference

AI remains conservative. If the evidence is not strong enough, the transaction stays unmatched rather than being forced into a weak match.

Manual matching and review

When the system cannot confidently match a transaction, users can manually match items where the totals tally and the business context is clear.

Manual matching is useful when:

• identifiers are incomplete
• partner data is inconsistent
• an exception needs one-off treatment
• the finance team has additional context that the system does not

Manual matches remain visible in the audit trail so the final report stays reviewable.

Reusable reconciliation for recurring periods

Once the Purplle ERP reconciliation is configured, the same setup can be reused for future periods.

That means finance teams do not need to rebuild the workflow every month. They can simply:

• select the existing reconciliation
• choose the period
• upload the new files
• run reconciliation
• review the report

This is especially useful for month-end close, weekly review cycles, and recurring marketplace settlement checks.

Dashboard and reporting

After the run is complete, users can review the reconciliation in a dashboard that shows the transaction-level results and overall summary.

Typical outputs include:

• total summary
• fully matched records
• partially matched records
• unmatched records
• skipped records
• filters for deeper analysis
• detailed transaction tables
• downloadable Excel reports

This makes it easier for finance teams to share reports internally, investigate discrepancies, and prepare follow-up actions with the marketplace or internal teams.

How this helps finance teams

A structured Purplle marketplace reconciliation workflow helps teams:

• reduce manual spreadsheet work
• review exceptions faster
• keep records consistent across ERP and marketplace data
• support audit readiness with clear outputs
• reuse the same configuration for recurring periods
• bring finance and operations into one shared workspace

For marketplace sellers, the main value is clarity: what matched, what did not match, and what needs attention next.
