Marking Cleared Items on the Bank Reconciliation (Mark Items) Window

The Bank Reconciliation window (formerly the Mark Items window) is the primary task window for the Bank Reconciliation tool. The Bank Reconciliation window appears after you select an account to reconcile and open the Bank Reconciliation tool. From the Bank Reconciliation window, you can mark items that appear on your bank statement to indicate that they cleared the bank. The Bank Reconciliation - Prior Items window also opens the first time you reconcile an account.

 

Take the following steps to complete your bank reconciliation and mark items that clear your bank:

  1. Compare the checks that appear on your bank statement to checks that appear in the Bank Reconciliation window.
    NOTE: You can use the Find & Mark feature if you have trouble locating a single item in the Bank Reconciliation window.
  2. Click to check mark any checks that also appear on your bank statement.
  3. Compare the receipts that appear on your bank statement to receipts that appear in the Bank Reconciliation window.
  4. Click to check mark any receipts that also appear on your bank statement.
  5. Click to check mark any errors that your financial institution reversed during the reconciliation period.
  6. Click Close on the This account is balanced and can be reconciled... prompt.

NOTE:

The This account is balanced and can be reconciled... prompt appears when your bank reconciliation does not have a difference. Continue to reconcile the account until there is no longer a difference. Refer to Bank Reconciliation Troubleshooting if you still have a difference after marking all items that appear on your bank statement.
