Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for predictive determination and resolution of an exception located on a negotiable instrument. The exception may be an indicia that includes data related to the payor, payment accounts, or payee. An indicia may not be identified successfully and thus be queued for exception processing. The exceptions may include one or more irregularities such as bad micro line reads, outdated check stock, or misrepresentative indicia points on a negotiable instrument that may result in a failure to match the check to an account for processing. Upon identifying an exception, the system retrieves historical transaction data associated with the resolved indicia. Subsequently, utilizing the resolved indicia, the system may determine a value for the exception identified based on the retrieved historical transaction data. Finally, the determined value may be stored with the negotiable instrument to complete the payment reconciliation process.
