Bank Reconciliation Summary screen does not balance
Description

Resolution

There are two sides the Bank Reconciliation Summary screen: Cleared on the left and Outstanding on the right.

Cleared side of Reconciliation Summary screen:

  • The Cleared balance is the bank beginning balance plus and minus the items you marked off as cleared in the bank rec.
  • If the Cleared side does not balance to the actual bank statement, it means that a transaction is on your statement that is not in your bank reconciliation or, a transaction was cleared on the bank reconciliation that is not on your statement.
  • Before moving to the Outstanding side of the screen, it is best to reconcile the Cleared side.
    Note: This side of the screen will reset itself on the next month’s reconciliation. If you can explain the difference and are comfortable with all of the individual numbers, you can move on if the difference is not zero.

Outstanding side of Reconciliation Summary screen:

  • The "Outstanding" side of the bank reconciliation summary screen is the side that actually reconciles the General Ledger to your Cash Management cash account reconciliation.
  • The Statement Ending balance is taken from the Reconcile cash account screen, adds and subtracts the outstanding items that affected the cash account for the period being reconciled.
  • The G/L balance is a calculated number based on the detailed transactions that posted to the G/L cash account within the timeframe specified.
  • A Difference means that something posted to Cash Management that didn't post to General Ledger, or something posted to General Ledger but not to Cash Management.
