Cash Management
The key area of functionality in Cash Management is Bank Statement Reconciliation. Reports
are also provided to support this function.
Some limited cash forecasting and positioning is also available in Cash Management.

Bank Statement Reconciliation

Overview
Bank Statements are loaded electronically using the Bank Statement Upload program. Bank
Statements can also be entered manually if required.
Each Bank Account must have its own their GL code for reconciliation purposes. Clearing
Accounts can also be used.
Reconciliation may be automatic or manual, or a mixture. Auto-Reconciliation can be used to
‘create’ transactions (eg Interest) from unreconciled items, or this can be completed manually.
Bank Statements use a Transaction Code to determine the transaction type to match to, and use
the Transaction Number to reconcile against. Transaction Codes are determined by the Bank
you use.
Accounting entries generated by the Reconciliation are transferred to the General Ledger by
running the Transfer process in the AP and AR subledgers.
Reconciliation comprises:
Statement Closing Balance
less unreconciled statement lines
plus uncleared payments
less unpresented cheques
= GL Bank Account Balance

Items available for matching to the Bank Statement are:

 Receipts and Remittance Batches (note, does not include Receipt Batches – you have
to create a Remittance Batch to allow reconciliation, or alternatively reconcile the
single line to all the Receipts in a batch)
 Payments and Payment Batches
 Journals coded to the GL Account that is used for the Bank Account
 Miscellaneous Receipts (eg Interest)
 Miscellaneous Payments (negative Receipts eg Bank Fees)
 Stopped for Void or Stopped payments in Payables
 NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) for reversed receipts where the bank has rejected a
receipt.
 Sweep In for incoming funds from an internal bank account
 Sweep Out for outgoing funds from an internal bank account

and import the journals to account for the reconciled transactions.
Reconciled transactions have a status of ‘Reconciled’ in the subledgers (prior to being
reconciled, transactions would have been ‘negotiable’).

Statement Reconciliation:
 AutoReconciliation Execution Report – automatically generated during
AutoReconciliation, this report provides a summary of what was reconciled.
 Bank Statement Detail Report – Shows a summary of the selected Bank Statements,
and shows what has and hasn’t been reconciled
 Transactions available for Reconciliation Report – Shows all transactions not yet
reconciled that have been recorded against the selected Bank Account. This includes:
Available Receipts, Available Payments, Available Journal Entry Lines and
unreconciled Statement Lines.
 General Ledger Reconciliation Report – Summarises the reconciled activities for
the GL Account for the Bank Account. Should only be run after Bank Statement
reconciliation is completed for the period, and all subledger journals have been
