How to Use the Payment Reconciliation Journal

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by john.ellis 3,518

Hi:

I have never understood how the Payment Reconciliaition Journal works.

Can you process only one record within the Payment Reconciliation Journal, or do all records in the Journal get processed?

What does "Apply" mean, when it comes to the Payment Reconciliation Journal?

When you "Post" does that mean that it's updating accounts in the G/L?

When you choose "Post and...", is it updating both the G/L and the Bank Reconciliation?

Are there any issues caused, by inserting a G/L account at the end of any of the records?

What is that "Match Confidence" all about?  Can you still process a record even though is specifies no confidence?

Thanks!

John

    Hello,

    You can create a data exchange definition file based on an exported Bank Transaction file from your bank. When done, you can import the file into the Payment Reconciliation Journal. This will list all open transactions from your bank and you need to map these to either bank, vendor, customer, general ledger, etc.

    After accepting, you can either book the payments or also book them and reconcile bank accounts.

    learn.microsoft.com/.../receivables-apply-payments-auto-reconcile-bank-accounts

    To make this process more efficient, you can map text on recurring payments to accounts for automatic reconcilation:

    learn.microsoft.com/.../receivables-how-map-text-recurring-payments-accounts-auto-reconcilliation

    If you do not map texts, you have to do it manually which is also fine. Only mapped transactions can be posted.

    Hope it helps.
