Reconciliation History

Each reconciliation batch for the account is listed and sorted by the 'Reconciled To' date. Starting and ending balances are shown as well as the user who completed the batch and the date it was performed. Note that if the user is BATCH then the batch has been created from historic records of reconciliation processes by the system when the particular user name was not stored.

If necessary a particular batch may be deleted by clicking the Action Box and choosing Delete Reconciliation or, where you have imported a bank statement, a second option Delete Reconciliation and Imported Transactions. The following will be the action will be taken:

Delete Reconciliation

All the items reconciled in the batch will have their status reset to unreconciled and subsequently will need to be re-reconciled.

Delete Reconciliation and Imported Transactions

A bank import allows you to add transactions not already on the system as well as matching against transactions on the system. This delete option will delete ALL transactions created by the import and set the status of ALL transactions in the batch to unreconciled (the two may not be the same i.e. you may not have used the import to add all transactions). You will then re-import the batch and re-reconcile all items (adding back the new transactions as required).

NOTE - the one exception to the rule is that where a Bank Transfer has been created through an import and it has been reconciled in the receiving/issuing bank account then the created transfer will NOT be deleted.

Clicking the printer icon generates a report of the details of a particular batch. The report includes a list of those transactions reconciled in the batch and any transactions in that account that remain unreconciled as at the 'Reconciled To' of the batch.

Clicking the red + symbol offer two icons

ALL UNRECONCILED ITEMS - allows you to report unreconciled items for any bank/credit card account as at a given date.

ALIGN BALANCES - the ending balance of one reconciliation should be the starting balance of the next. There are times when the user may have unreconciled item(s) from a batch and this will mean, unless the transaction is re-reconciled at the appropriate point, there is a disconnect between the ending balance of one and the starting balance of the next. Align balances will correct the running balances where an inconsistency occurs due to changes you have made.

NOTE - there should be very few occasions where a transaction needs to be unreconciled or deleted as you can use the Analyse tool from the action menu in listing transactions in 'Bank - bank x - View' (and other listings) to make corrections to the analysis you originally applied.
