Bank Reconciliation

This report lists all unreconciled postings to the Bank Account and divides them into three groups: Outstanding Payments; Outstanding Receipts; and Bank Charges. The third group includes all postings that do not fall into the other two groups (e.g. bank interest, transfers between bank accounts, salary payments).

The report will then take the closing balance from your last bank statement and calculates a new balance that takes the unreconciled postings into account. This new balance is then compared to the current balance for the Bank Account in your database. If the two balances are different, the probable reason is that there is still at least one unreconciled posting that you can reconcile with the bank statement.

When printed to screen, the Bank Reconciliation report has the HansaWorld Enterprise Drill-down feature. Click on a Sub System Number (e.g. Invoice Number) in the report to open the Nominal Ledger Transaction for that Sub System record. You can then open the Sub System record itself (e.g. the Invoice) by selecting 'Open Subsystem Record' from the Operations menu.
