What I added next to payapp and reconmatch

Shipping a first useful version is not the same as finishing the tool. After the initial releases of payapp and reconmatch, I stayed with the bottlenecks people hit after the happy path.

payapp: unit-price SOVs and suggested journals

Lump-sum schedules are only half of commercial work. Civil and highway pay apps are qty × unit price. payapp 0.13 accepts quantity_scheduled, unit_price, and optional quantity_previous / quantity_period / quantity_stored. Dollars are derived as qty × price. Reports include unit-price detail; quantity overruns are validated separately from dollar overbilling.

payapp examples/sov_unit_price.csv -o ./hwy --retainage 5%

0.12 added --journals with contractor and owner styles: balanced workpaper lines for AR / retainage receivable / billings (or cost / AP / retainage payable). Suggestion for review - not a GL post.

payapp sov.csv -o ./app --journals --journal-style contractor

reconmatch: filters, aliases, close sequence

reconmatch 0.12.1 / 0.13 adds:

• --exclude-desc / --include-desc - regex filters before matching
• --aliases aliases.csv - rewrite bank tokens to book names (longer aliases win; originals kept for audit)
• docs/WORKFLOW.md - month-end sequence

reconmatch books.csv bank.ofx -o ./2026-03 --prefix mar \
  --exclude-desc "SERVICE FEE,MONTHLY MAINTENANCE" \
  --aliases examples/aliases.csv \
  --schedule --html --journal

Honest limits

payapp does not produce official AIA form PDFs. reconmatch does not pull bank feeds or replace your GL. Both stay offline and stdlib-only.
