The 5-Level Matching Architecture

Standard Excel VLOOKUP fails because invoice formatting is inherently messy. ReconDesk resolves invoice discrepancies through 5 progressive deterministic tiers with ₹0 financial delta.

Statutory Rigor

How L2 Operates

Suppliers frequently file with prefixes like 'INV/26/', '2026-', or strip leading zeroes ('00941' vs '941'). ReconDesk extracts the core numerical and alphanumeric token, bridging the format gap without human intervention.
