The airline says one thing. GSTN says another. Your books say a third. SkyLedger is the part of TraCarta that triangulates all three, and tells you exactly what to do with each disagreement. Not a report. A verdict.
Most tools compare airline invoices against GSTR-2B and call it done. But the GSTN portal isn’t the truth, it’s the supplier’s claim. The airline’s invoice isn’t the truth either, it’s the seller’s record. Neither knows whether your team actually flew. The third leg of the triangle, your booking record, is what makes a recon real.
Different values. Different dates. Different GSTINs for the same airline. The airline issued an invoice; the airline (sometimes) filed the credit; the two don’t always line up. Without a verdict, you don’t know whose number to trust.
Cancellations. Re-bookings. Itinerary changes that the airline didn’t reflect. An invoice with no matching booking is a flag, not a credit, and SkyLedger spots it before your auditor does.
Sometimes 2B reports credits for trips that aren’t in your books at all: another entity’s travel, a stale supplier, an old PAN. Taking that credit is a mistake; missing it when it’s real is another. SkyLedger tells the difference.
Most recon tools sort invoices into three or four buckets: matched, mismatched, missing. SkyLedger refuses that ambiguity. Every invoice receives one of eight specific verdicts, each with a defined resolution. No more “unclear” column for your team to triage.
All three records agree on value, date, and supplier. The credit is real and your books should reflect it.
Airline issued the invoice and your booking is real, but 2B hasn’t posted yet. The credit is coming; the timing isn’t right yet.
Airline invoice and 2B disagree on the amount. The supplier under-reported, mis-reported, or amended. The delta is recoverable but needs action.
GSTN reports credit on a flight you actually took, but you don’t have the invoice on hand. The credit is yours; you just hadn’t seen it yet.
A credit note has appeared in airline records and GSTN. The previously-booked credit on the original invoice must be reversed in the same period.
2B reports the credit under a sister entity’s GSTIN, the right PAN, wrong state registration. The credit is yours; it just needs routing.
Invoice exists, but the credit is ineligible: blocked credit, lapsed time limit, or rules disqualification. Real but unrecoverable.
Your team flew. The booking is real. The airline hasn’t issued (or has lost) the invoice. Money owed to your books, sitting in supplier limbo.
Each verdict carries a confidence score and a documented trail. Your controller can challenge any call. The evidence is sitting under it.
Airline invoice, GSTR-2B entry, and your booking record, the three sources are joined on multiple keys (PNR, GSTIN, date, value, document type) and judged together. A 2-of-3 match isn’t a match; it’s a verdict.
A 1-paisa rounding difference isn’t a mismatch. A ₹50 difference probably is. Date drift of one day is normal; one week is a flag. Tolerance bands are tuned per-airline, per-document-type, and adjustable per client.
A high-confidence Recover verdict (99%) can flow through to SkyIQ for auto-drafting. A lower-confidence case (e.g. 82% Reclaim) routes to your controller’s review queue first. Your team sets the auto-flow threshold.
At the end of every cycle, SkyLedger states your financial position in five numbers. The headline is what’s recoverable today. The four below it tell you why the rest isn’t.
On first pass, ~93% of invoices reach a clean Recover or Reclaim verdict. The credit is unambiguously yours. The remaining ~7% land in Hold, Pursue, Adjust, Refile, Dispute, or Forfeit, each with a defined next step. The point of SkyLedger isn’t to maximise a match-rate vanity metric; it’s to give every invoice a defensible verdict.
2B is treated as one of three records, not the source of truth. If the airline invoice and your booking agree and 2B disagrees, SkyLedger says so explicitly, Pursue verdict, with the evidence ready for supplier follow-up or department escalation.
Configurable per client. Blocked-credit rules are encoded as Forfeit triggers, the invoice is recognised, the credit is excluded, and the case is documented for audit. Your tax team controls the rule set; SkyLedger applies it consistently.
A credit note is itself an invoice with negative sign. When one lands in SkyDox, SkyLedger runs the same triangulation. If matched, it triggers the Adjust verdict, which routes to SkyIQ to draft the reversal of the original posting.
Always. Every verdict is editable. Overrides are logged with user, timestamp, original verdict, new verdict, and reason. Patterns of override become inputs to your tolerance-band tuning. The system learns from your team, not the other way around.
Yes. International carriers are reconciled the same way, with the IGST treatment and place-of-supply rules applied per regulation. Foreign currency is converted at invoice-date rate. The verdict types are unchanged; the resolution paths account for the international leg.
One filing cycle of your airline invoices, your booking exports, and your GSTR-2B. SkyLedger returns the eight-verdict report, the financial position, and the action queue. If the recoverable column doesn’t make the math obvious, walk away.
