What is a cash management error?

Cash management hinges on reconciling every cash receipt with the remittance advice. When a cash record exists but there is no matching remittance in the system, the payment cannot be applied or reconciled, creating an orphan entry and unresolved revenue. That scenario is the clearest example of a cash management error because it directly blocks proper application and reporting. Other problems like posting a cash record twice, having a negative cash balance, or a currency mismatch are also issues, but they do not specifically describe the failure to link a cash receipt to its remittance.
