Rippling Spend

Reconciliation at a glance

Finalized spend in the export: $28,454.49 (152 transactions). Both invoices match their transactions exactly, dollar for dollar.

The two invoices cover Oct 5–9 and Oct 19–30. Everything else in the export is either pre-October, the unmatched Oct 1–2 purchases, or not yet billed. Excluded from the finalized total: a rejected $4,895.25 authorization and a pending $617.06 authorization ($5,512.31 combined).

• Travel — $56.36

Unmatched — Oct 1–2 purchases

Two finalized October purchases, $1,241.36, that appear in neither invoice. They fall between the pre-October spend and the first invoice window, so they are not covered by either bill on record.

Possible explanations: billed on an invoice not in the Household budget, or not yet billed. They are real, finalized charges — not a data error.

Pre-October spending

$20,414.56 across 114 finalized transactions, May 14 – Sep 30, 2026. This spend predates the Household budget's October start and is not covered by either invoice above.

Pending — not yet billed

$1,690.73 across 11 finalized transactions, Nov 2–5, 2026 — purchased after the Nov 2 invoice window closed, so they are waiting for the next bill.

Also outstanding, but not counted above because it is not finalized: a pending $617.06 Lowe's card authorization (Nov 3, Miscellaneous). And the rejected $4,895.25 ASF Clean Team authorization (Oct 5, Professional Services) is excluded entirely.

Notes & method

• How the bills were matched: transactions were grouped by purchase date, finalized rows only (Status Approved + Charge status Finalized). The Oct 20 invoice equals the Oct 5–9 purchases to the cent, and the Nov 2 invoice equals the Oct 19–30 purchases to the cent. No other contiguous date window matches either invoice.
• Billing periods are not calendar months: the invoices cover Oct 5–9 and Oct 19–30. There were no purchases Oct 10–18, so the windows are contiguous in practice. The “Accounting period date” column in the export is empty for every row, so purchase date is the only grouping available.
• Pre-October: May 14 – Sep 30 spend ($20,414.56) is real finalized spend that is not covered by these two invoices — it predates the Household budget's October start.
• Gap — Oct 1–2: $1,241.36 (Instacart $23.86 + City Water Filter $1,217.50) is finalized October spend in neither invoice. Flagged, not forced into a bill.
• Pending: Nov 2–5 finalized spend ($1,690.73) is waiting for the next invoice. The Nov 2 purchases fell on the same day the Nov 2 invoice was issued and are not part of it.
• Excluded rows: two Card Authorization rows are not settled charges and are left out of every total above — Oct 5 ASF Clean Team $4,895.25 (Rejected) and Nov 3 Lowe's $617.06 (Pending).
• Credits: four refunds/credits are inside the totals (Peloton −$407.35, gorjana −$530.09, Adobe −$39.99, Aesop −$224.86).
• What is not here: the “Rippling” $600.70 platform rows and Rippling Payroll rows in the Household budget are separate from these card-spend invoices and are not part of this reconciliation. No transactions in this export are for Nubia — only Alexandria Allen (147 finalized) and Melissa Collins (5 finalized).
• Open decision: whether to break this spend down by category or by individual transaction is still to be decided — the category and employee summaries above are here to inform that choice.
