Checkbook Reconciliation Record View

The purpose of the Checkbook Reconciliation Record View is to identify all the checkbook transactions that have cleared the bank. From here, users can start a new reconciliation, assign all the transactions that are being reconciled (cleared), and edit the cleared amount of specific transactions if necessary. When a Reconciliation is Posted, the checkbook balance is updated and the Checkbook Transactions Inquiry is updated with the reconciliation information. Checkbook reconciliations do not make journal entries when posted.

Grid LayoutOpens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).

(lightbulb) The bolded view is the default view, which will determine the view will automatically display in when opened.

Header FieldsDescription
Adjustment Needed

A non editable text box that calculates the adjustment that would be needed to balance the checkbook based on the the current reconciliation information, in the checkbook's currency, displayed in the currency format. This is calculated as [Reconcile to Balance] - [Rec. & Cleared]. This label and field are only visible for transactions in the status of "New" or "Approved", they are not visible for Posted reconciliations.

This amount must be 0.00 to Approve and/or Post the transaction. 

  • If this amount is 0.00 then the Checkbook is in balance with the bank.
  • If this amount is positive, a positive adjustment is necessary before the Checkbook will balance to the bank balance.
  • If this amount is negative, a negative adjustment is necessary before the Checkbook will balance to the bank balance.

This is a calculated field that is not stored in the database.

This defaults to blank but is required before any transactions can be added to the Grid. This date must be >= the 'Last Reconciled Date' and <= the 'Transaction Cutoff' date. This date is not required to be in an open fiscal period.

If the Checkbook selected is already on an open (unposted) reconciliation transaction, the message "This Checkbook is already assigned to Reconciliation [ReconciliationTransID]." will be displayed on Save. 

The lookup contains a blank value, the current assigned value, and all 'Active' checkbooks, sorted by Checkbook ID. The values in the lookup are displayed as:

  • New: This is the default value. While in the Status of New all editable fields are open for edit, no posting/approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist.  
  • Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned.   
  • Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled with the exception any fields that are always editable and updates the Transaction Status to "Posted".

If not, the message "The Transaction Cuttoff date must be >= the Bank Balances as of date." will be displayed on save.
