Bank A/C Reconciliation - Outstanding Checks Showing zeros

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by CU02031112-0 32
We have some checks which are in the same period which we are reconciling but the Total Outstanding Checks shows zeros. What can be the issue and how can we  resolve this ?

    It’s not really an issue.
     
    Every transaction in the system that is posted against a bank account is recorded in the Bank Account Ledger Entry. Because of that, the Balance to Reconcile shows all unreconciled transactions from the Bank Account Ledger Entry.
     
    However, when you post a transaction from the payment journal and use the Bank Payment Type field to mark it as a cheque or EFT/ACH, that same transaction is posted to both the Bank Account Ledger Entry and the Check Ledger Entry.
     
    The Total Outstanding Checks field is simply showing the total of all unreconciled transactions in the Check Ledger Entry.
     
    Based on your screenshot it looks like the Bank Payment Type field was not used on any transactions.

    Hello,
    Usually this happens because those entries are not recognized as actual check entries, or they fall outside the statement date, or they were already matched/reversed. In standard Business Central, Outstanding Checks only shows unmatched bank ledger entries for checks with a posting date on or before the statement ending date; everything else goes to Outstanding Bank Transactions or is excluded. So the quick checks are: confirm the payments were posted using real check functionality (not just normal bank payment/journal postings), confirm the Statement Date includes them, and confirm they are still open/unmatched and not reversed. Also run the Test Report because it splits Outstanding Checks from Outstanding Bank Transactions and usually shows where the amount is landing. If you’re using the regular Bank Acc. Reconciliation page, note that Microsoft says the Bank Rec. Worksheet in the North American version is better suited for checks and deposits.
