Short-Pay
When a buyer pays less than the invoiced amount, usually via a deduction.
Also known as: short pay, underpayment
What is Short-Pay?
A short-pay is when a buyer pays less than the full invoiced amount, typically by taking a deduction for a shortage, damage, pricing discrepancy, or compliance issue. Detecting short-pays requires matching each remittance against the original invoice line by line — a reconciliation many brands can’t do at scale. Undetected short-pays accumulate into real, unrecovered revenue.
How Endless handles it
Endless auto-reconciles 820 remittances against 810 invoices, so short-pays are flagged the moment they happen instead of surfacing in a quarterly audit.
