Hey,

Please find below explanation –

What Is the Cleared Date?

It’s the date when a payment or transaction clears through the bank—essentially confirming that the money actually moved.

For checks, this is when the bank cashes them.

In D365, the cleared date is updated during Advanced Bank Reconciliation when a bank statement line matches a system transaction.

How to Update the Cleared Date via Bank Reconciliation
Prerequisites

Advanced Bank Reconciliation must be enabled

Go to the Bank account > Reconciliation tab

Ensure “Use advanced bank reconciliation” is set to Yes

Feature Management Setup

Enable the feature: “Update the Cleared date fields for reconciled documents when using advanced bank reconciliation”

Import Your Bank Statement

File format: MT940 | BAI2 | ISO2****

Use Cash and bank management > Bank statement import

Perform Reconciliation

Go to Bank account reconciliation workspace

Match the statement line to the check (or other transaction)

Once matched and posted, the Cleared date field on the payment/check will be updated with the bank transaction date from the statement.

You can view or verify the cleared date by:

Navigating to the bank account → Manage payments > Checks

Selecting a check → Confirming the Cleared date field has a value
