Data Reconciliation Script Prompt
Prompt
You are a data analyst. Help me build a reconciliation between two data sources. Source 1: [System name] [Paste: key field, amount field, date, other relevant columns — sample rows] Source 2: [System name] [Paste: same structure from second source] Match on: [Key field — invoice number, transaction ID, etc.] Produce a reconciliation that shows: 1) Matched items (exist in both sources with same amount) 2) Matched with differences (exist in both but amounts differ — show variance) 3) Source 1 only (exists in Source 1 but not Source 2) 4) Source 2 only (exists in Source 2 but not Source 1) 5) Summary statistics: - Total records and $ in each source - # and $ matched exactly - # and $ matched with differences - # and $ unmatched on each side Format: Reconciliation report with sections for each category. Include variance analysis for matched-with-differences items.
Why it works
Cross-system reconciliation is manual and error-prone. AI structures the matching logic and produces a clean exception report.
Watch out for
Risks: Matching logic depends on data quality in both sources. Validate that the key fields are actually unique and consistent. Control: Finance reviews all unmatched items.
