Reviewed on 2026-10-07
Have a statement and posted transactions ready#
Import a statement for the bank account and ensure candidate payments/journals are posted. Check statement currency and dates.
Match bank lines to records#
- 1Open the statement's reconciliation view and inspect unmatched lines and candidate transactions.
- 2Open a suggested match and compare the bank line with the posted payment or journal on direction, amount, date, and reference.
- 3Review suggestions or run auto-match, then verify amount, direction, date and reference before accepting matches. Manually match a line when needed.
- 4Unmatch an incorrect association, add a documented adjustment for genuine bank-only items, and review the summary before closing.
- 5After matching, review the remaining unmatched lines and the statement's running difference.
A suggested match is a starting point. The reviewer is responsible for confirming the bank evidence.
Review the reconciliation status#
Statement lines can be Unmatched, Partly matched, or Matched. The statement moves from Imported to In progress and then Reconciled when the close checks pass.
WARNING: Auto-match is a suggestion mechanism, not a substitute for review. Closing a statement with incorrect matches affects the audit trail.
When a payment is missing#
If a candidate is missing, verify posting status, bank account, currency, date window and whether it is already matched.
If a candidate is absent, check its posting status, bank account, currency, date window, and whether it is already matched.
