Looking for ideas. A client has thousands of micro-invoices per month dating back to 2018, which were posted via JEs and payments were made in bulk to the providers (several hundred bills per vendor) without association to the original vendor bills. They currently have 45,000 open lines of unmatched transactions, 40,000 of which are from 2018-2021 before the new CFO came in.

Currently their "No Vendor" transactions are USD 55 million with identified vendor transactions at USD 65 million. That $10 million delta is what the CFO believes his outstanding payables are but of course auditors are concerned that these don't match.

Does anyone have ideas as to how to clean this up without creating a G/L impact? The cash has already been paid out on these transactions under the "No Vendor" category and the CFO is trying to have clean A/P aging reports.
