Automatic Bank Reconciliation
For automated reconciliations, use this form to balance the unmatched withdrawals and deposits, verify the matched withdrawals and deposits, and correct other suspense items using the Suspense Items tab.
Bank Reconciliation Summary
The top portion of the form features a summary of the various items included in the reconciliation.
The Bank Statement Balance and Bank Feed Start Date fields can be edited by clicking the links under the Totals section in the upper right of the page. Locked reconciliations cannot be edited.
Unreconciled Difference
Once the Bank Balance is entered, the system calculates the unreconciled difference. The cash account is reconciled when this amount is 0.00. The Unreconciled Difference adjusts after each entry.

Suspense Items Tab
Use this tab to manually enter and delete suspense items. Suspense items are reconciling items that typically are not entered as a transaction—a bank error, for example. Since the bank error is a reconciling item, only enter it on this tab until it is corrected. Do not enter it as a transaction.
Later, in the subsequent reconciliation period, when the error is corrected and no longer a reconciling difference, manually delete it from this tab.
