Tata Cliq Marketplace Reconciliation with ERP

Tata Cliq marketplace reconciliation is the process of comparing Tata Cliq reports with internal ERP records to verify sales, payments, GST values, settlements, and variances. For finance teams, the goal is not just to find differences, but to understand why they exist and whether they need follow-up, correction, or manual review.

Cointab provides a structured reconciliation workflow for this kind of marketplace-to-ERP matching. Finance teams can upload files, map key fields once, run reconciliation, review matched and unmatched transactions, and download audit-ready reports for month-end close, internal review, and partner follow-up.

How Tata Cliq reconciliation works in Cointab

This use case typically compares two sides of data:

The reconciliation can be configured as a custom workflow when your ERP structure, reference fields, or reporting logic need to be mapped to the marketplace files you receive.

Reports commonly used for reconciliation

A Tata Cliq marketplace reconciliation often uses a combination of the following reports:

• Tata Cliq GST report
• Tata Cliq sales report
• Tata Cliq payment report
• ERP exports from systems such as SAP, Tally, or another accounting platform

Depending on how your process is set up, supporting files can also be added to enrich the primary data before reconciliation. For example, teams may upload product masters, SKU mappings, fee rate files, or order metadata to help prepare records for matching.

What Cointab compares

The reconciliation setup can be configured at a detailed level, including order, invoice, payment reference, settlement reference, and SKU-level checks where needed.

Common comparison points include:

• Order ID or invoice number
• Transaction reference or payment reference
• Settlement or payout reference
• SKU or item-level details
• Amounts before or after fees and deductions
• GST values and related tax fields
• Dates used for reporting or settlement logic

If the business uses derived values such as net amount, cleaned reference IDs, or fee-adjusted totals, those can be prepared as derived columns before the run.

Reconciliation outcomes finance teams review

Cointab separates transactions into clear result buckets so finance teams can focus on exceptions instead of reviewing every row manually.

Fully matched

These are the records where the selected identifiers and amounts match according to the configured logic. For a marketplace workflow, this may mean that a Tata Cliq sale and the corresponding ERP entry align on the chosen reference and amount criteria.

Partially matched

These are the records where the system finds a likely match, but the amounts do not align perfectly. This is useful when the reference is correct but the settlement, fee, tax, refund, or deduction creates a difference that needs review.

Unmatched

These are the records present on one side but not found on the other. In a Tata Cliq reconciliation, that can help surface missing ERP entries, missing marketplace records, unposted settlements, or unresolved differences.

Skipped

Skipped records are rows that were not included in reconciliation because of a file issue, missing required data, invalid values, or another configured exclusion rule. Keeping skipped records visible helps teams understand what was not processed and why.

Typical reconciliation flow

1. Upload Tata Cliq and ERP files in CSV, XLS, or XLSX format.
2. Map the required fields such as date, amount, and identifier columns.
3. Add optional supporting files for lookup, enrichment, or calculations.
4. Create derived columns if a reference or amount needs to be normalized.
5. Run reconciliation manually or on a scheduled basis.
6. Review the report dashboard as the run progresses.
7. Inspect matched, partially matched, unmatched, and skipped transactions.
8. Use filters to drill into exceptions.
9. Download the Excel report for internal review or audit support.
10. Refresh the report if a missed file is uploaded later.

Why this workflow helps finance teams

Marketplace-to-ERP reconciliation usually becomes difficult when teams rely on spreadsheets, VLOOKUPs, manual comparisons, and repeated file handling. A structured workflow helps reduce that overhead in several ways.

Reusable setup

Once the Tata Cliq reconciliation structure is defined, it can be reused for future periods instead of being rebuilt every month.

Faster exception review

Instead of scanning every transaction manually, teams can focus on the records that are actually open, partial, or unmatched.

Audit-ready reporting

The output can be reviewed as a transaction-level report with matched, partially matched, unmatched, and skipped records clearly separated.

Better control over recurring work

For businesses that close books monthly or track marketplace settlements regularly, the same reconciliation can be repeated with updated period files and consistent logic.

Support for automation

Once the workflow is configured, data can be received or pulled through email, SFTP, or API-based automation, and reconciliation can be scheduled at recurring intervals.

Where AI helps in the process

Cointab uses AI as support within the reconciliation workflow, not as a replacement for finance review.

It can help with:

• Building derived Excel-style formulas from plain-language instructions
• Analyzing open items that remain after structured matching
• Identifying possible reasons for differences, such as missing files, deductions, refunds, or timing gaps
• Supporting review when references are incomplete or inconsistent

If the evidence is not strong enough, the transaction should remain open rather than being forced into a weak match.

Common business questions this reconciliation answers

A Tata Cliq marketplace reconciliation can help answer questions such as:

• Which sales are present in Tata Cliq but not in ERP?
• Which ERP entries do not have a matching marketplace record?
• Which orders match on reference but differ on amount?
• Are differences caused by fees, GST, refunds, or deductions?
• Are any files missing for the selected period?
• Which records need manual review before closing the period?

Monthly and period-based reconciliation

Teams can run Tata Cliq reconciliation for monthly, quarterly, yearly, lifetime, or custom periods. This makes it easier to reconcile current-period activity while also keeping historical reports available for review later.

If a late file arrives after a run has already been completed, the missed file can be uploaded under the same reconciliation and the report can be refreshed.

What finance teams gain from a structured marketplace-to-ERP workflow

For finance operations, the main value is visibility and repeatability. The team can see what was matched, what was open, what was skipped, and what needs follow-up. That makes the process easier to review, easier to explain, and easier to reuse across future periods.

This is especially useful when Tata Cliq data needs to be compared with ERP records for sales validation, GST review, settlement tracking, and month-end reporting.

FAQ

What is Tata Cliq marketplace reconciliation?

It is the process of comparing Tata Cliq reports with internal ERP data to verify sales, payments, GST values, settlements, and any differences between the two sides.

Which files are usually needed?

A typical setup may include Tata Cliq GST, sales, and payment reports, along with ERP exports from systems such as SAP, Tally, or another accounting platform. Supporting files can be added if the workflow needs enrichment or lookup logic.

Can the same setup be reused every month?

Yes. Once the reconciliation is configured, the same workflow can be reused for future periods instead of being rebuilt from scratch.

How are unmatched or partially matched records handled?

Cointab separates them into different categories so finance teams can review exceptions individually. If needed, users can also manually match records that the system did not resolve automatically.

Can Tata Cliq reconciliation be automated?

Yes. After setup, recurring files can be received or pulled through email, SFTP, or API-based automation, and reconciliation can be scheduled on a recurring basis.
