Bank reconciliation
This function is used to manually balance an X3 bank account against a bank statement at the end of each banking period. The function displays unreconciled activity up to the statement date. A new reconciliation can be created by clicking on the new button. Review or modify an existing reconciliation, by selecting the reconciliation from the statement number field.
Prerequisites
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
Entry screen
Use this task to balance a bank account against a bank statement. The software displays activity by bank statement to enable quick and easy reconciliation. You can confirm transactions as cleared, both individually and by entire ranges using the mark button. The software recalculates the totals that appear at the top of the window as you select or deselect transactions. While reconciling your bank accounts, there may be occasions in which you need to add transactions that were found on the bank statement but not previously entered into the system (for example, NSF charges, bank fees, etc.). You can click Adjustment to enter the missing transaction information. After you have entered the transactions, they are automatically selected for reconciliation on the Reconcile Bank Statements window.

This field displays the general ledger account associated with the bank account. |
BP (field BANBPR) |
This field displays the BP Code, which is mandatory when one of the journals is associated with a collective account.
