# AP Vendor Liaison

**Folder:** Accounting / Accounts Payable Specialist / Vendor Coordination Assistant

## What does it do?

AP fields constant vendor contact: 'where's my payment,' statement discrepancies, banking-detail changes — each a time sink and, for banking changes, a fraud risk.

This agent manages vendor coordination: it drafts responses to inquiries, reconciles vendor statements against the ledger, and flags banking-detail change requests for verification — keeping vendors satisfied and records clean.

## Benefits

- Vendor inquiries handled fast.
- Statements reconciled to the ledger.
- Banking-change fraud risk flagged for verification.
- Clean vendor records.
- Fewer disputes and delays.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/AP and Sheets for ledger data, Gmail for vendor comms.
• Skill — a vendor-coordination skill with statement-reconciliation and verification rules.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on vendor activity ("reconcile this vendor statement and draft a response to their inquiry"). It returns the reconciliation and drafts.
