Trade-offs Are Inevitable in Software Delivery - Remember the CAP Theorem

  Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, you are absolutely right. As long as top management is not aware of certain necessary trade-offs, it will be impossible for analysts & architects to correctly do their job. But I hope my blog can bring maybe a little bit (not making too much illusions either :-)) of idea, that technology is always a matter of making trade-offs.

The Unseen Backbone of Banking: A Deep Dive into Matching and Reconciliation

  If the payment amount is not matching in full with the invoice for a legitimate reason, it can still not be handled by the structured comment, but it should be possible for the matching to correctly handle this (and expect / anticipate this). If invoice indicates that 80% should be paid on delivery and 20% on installation, it is possible to use 2 times the same structured comment, but obviously you will expect then 2 payments on different payment dates.

The Unseen Backbone of Banking: A Deep Dive into Matching and Reconciliation

  Thanks for the feedback.  The "checksum method" in Belgium unfortunately does not solve the issue that customers pay the incorrect amount. The structured comment put on a lot of wire transfers in Belgium is a 12 digit code, for which the checksum is just a modulo 97 of the first 10 digits. So checksum guarantees quite well that the right structured comment is entered, but it does not guarantee if right amount is used. For this, many companies work with QR codes on their invoice (and in future SEPA Request-to-Pay could be used), but a lot of customers don't use this QR code, so issue with incorrect amounts remains indeed a big hassle for most companies.
