Bank Reconciliation Module Setup

Bank Reconciliation

The Bank Reconciliation Module provides an effective, easy way to reconcile each of your general ledger cash type accounts. Each time a transaction is recorded to a cash type account, it is recorded in a subsidiary ledger thereby giving you the ability to reconcile and report on these transactions.

The Reconcile Cash Accounts form has separate tabs for clearing checks, deposits and other cash items that were posted to the cash account in transaction entry sessions. The amounts displayed are a cumulative total by document of transactions to the cash account being reconciled.

The form has tool bar buttons that are used to limit the displays on these tabs. Buttons are also available to jump quickly to a particular transaction type affecting the reconciliation.

NOTE: The numbers will sort based on the first position and then second, and so on. For example, 11 would come before 2.

Module SetupThere are required Security Updates before a user may begin working in the Bank Reconciliation module.

All users who will access the module will need to have the permissions to Bank Reconciliation reviewed. The new features are not automatically granted to existing users.

Users attempting to access Bank Reconciliation without adjusted permissions will see a message similar to the following:

© 2015 Abila Student Curriculum 2.1Attention: Authentic curriculum displays a holographic image on the front cover.

Summary Tab Abila MIP Fund AccountingTM

To reset Security, select Security > Set Up Organization Menus. Select a Type. Expand the choices for Accounting by clicking the plus (+) next to that group. Then expand Activities, and finally highlight Reconcile Cash Accounts. Check the appropriate permissions box. Remove permissions by deselecting a box

Users responsible for reconciling the Cash Accounts should have View, Edit, Delete and Add rights. Selecting Process rights allows the user to Unlock a locked Reconciliation ID. Process rights should be limited to Administrators.

Summary TabAccess the bank reconciliation feature by selecting Accounting > Basic Transactions > Related Tasks > Reconcile Cash Accounts from the Navigator. You can also access this feature by selecting Activities > Reconcile Cash Accounts from the Classic menu. The first form displayed is the Summary tab.

In addition to the Cash Account, a Reconciliation ID field is required. This is similar to a session number for this reconciliation.

To start a new Reconciliation, select the Cash Account, click New and enter a reconciliation ID.

After entering the required fields, finish the reconciliation date, and the current bank balance, the totals will display for each type of reconciling item.

Bank Reconciliation Summary Tab

Cash Account – Select a valid general ledger cash account, and then press the Tab key. The account title displays to the right after selection is made.

Reconciliation ID - Similar to a session number, a user can only have one ID active for a specific reconciliation date. Once established, the ID can be saved, edited, deleted, or locked.

New ID - This is created when New button is selected.

Select ID - The drop down list displays Reconciliation IDs for the selected cash account in descending date order.

Find ID - If reconciliation does not display in the drop down, click the Find button next to the Reconciliation ID field.

Delete ID - Select the Reconciliation ID and click the Delete button at the bottom of the screen.

Converted ID - The Application creates a Reconciliation ID for each Reconciliation Date associated to a Cash Account established in the Application and will be named Converted for Reconciliation Date mm/dd/yyyy. Any items previously cleared in the Application will be associated with the converted ID. Outstanding items relevant to each Reconciliation Date will also be associated with the converted ID.

Reconciliation Date – Enter the bank statement date as the date of reconciliation, then press the Tab key to continue.

Reconciliation Table

The boxes display summary information for the current reconciliation. Once the bank balance is entered, the Application calculates the unreconciled difference.

Bank Balance – Enter the current bank balance for the cash account from your bank statement.



NOTE: When this value is entered, the Application will calculate the unreconciled difference.

Less Outstanding Checks/Vouchers – (Display Only) This amount is the total of all checks currently outstanding.

Plus Deposits in Transit – (Display Only) This amount is the total of all deposits currently outstanding.

Plus or Minus Other Cash Items - (Display Only) This amount is the total of all other items currently outstanding such as Journal Voucher entries to a cash account.

Plus or Minus Suspense Items - (Display Only) This amount is the total of all suspense items currently outstanding on the Suspense tab.

Reconciled Bank Balance - (Display Only) The Application calculates this amount based on the formula:

Balance Per Books - (Display Only) This is the General Ledger balance for the cash account as of the reconciliation date.

Unreconciled Difference – (Display Only) This is the difference between the reconciled bank balance and the balance per books. The cash account is reconciled when this amount is $0.00. The unreconciled

difference adjusts after clicking the Update button.

Each time items are cleared and the Update button is clicked you will return to the Summary tab to see the updated reconciliation information.

TIP: When the reconciliation is complete, print a summary or detail reconciliation report using the Print

button.

‘

TIP: After you make changes, click the Update button to change the unreconciled difference between the bank account and the ledger balance, to reflect the items marked as cleared.

Bank Reconciliation Locking Reconciliation IDs

Locking Reconciliation IDsUsers have an option to Lock a Reconciliation ID when the Unreconciled Difference is zero. Locking a Reconciliation ID prevents anyone from clearing or unclearing any items on that Reconciliation Date.

Reconciliation IDs must be Locked in chronological order. For example, our July, 2012 reconciliation must be locked before August, 2012 can be locked. A Locked ID cannot have new items added to it, but it is possible to remove items by clearing them in an earlier period. Those items will be removed from the locked reconciliation and be cleared in the earlier reconciliation.

NOTE: Users without Process rights can lock a Reconciliation, but only users with Process rights can unlock a Reconciliation.

WARNING: Reconciliations with Suspense Items should not be locked. Locking a Reconciliation ID with a Suspense item removes it from future reconciliations as if it were no longer outstanding.

NOTE: It is possible to remove items from a locked reconciliation by clearing them in an earlier reconciliation period.

NOTE: A Suspense Item cannot be deleted if contained in a Locked Reconciliation ID.


Transferring Between Cash Accounts Abila MIP Fund AccountingTM

Transferring Between Cash AccountsIf your organization uses two cash accounts, you may need to transfer funds between them. You may accomplish this with a variety of transaction types.

We recommend that you use Journal Vouchers, Transactions > Enter Journal Vouchers (JV), to transfer funds between general ledger cash accounts. The JV transaction type only requires one complete JV transaction to accomplish the transfer.

With the journal voucher entry, Example 1, the Application includes $5000.00 for each cash account on the Other Cash Items tab in Activities > Reconcile Cash Accounts.

You may use the Transactions > Enter Cash Receipts (CR) form or > Enter Cash Disbursements (CD) types instead of JV. However, if you do this, you should create one complete CD transaction and one complete CR transaction, Example 2, and each transaction should contain a clearing account.

With separate cash disbursement and cash receipt entries, Example 2, the Application includes a $5000.00 Checks/Vouchers item, Activities > Reconcile Cash Accounts, for account 11001 and a $5000 Deposits item for account 11000.

If you create one CD or CR transaction, Example 3 to complete the transfer, the document amount will be zero. The transaction entries of a zero document will appear on the Reconcile Cash Accounts form.

Example 1: Journal Voucher

GL Account Debit Credit

11000 Cash $5000.00

11001 Cash $5000.00

Example 2: Cash Receipt - part 1


11001 Cash $5000.00

99999Clearing Account

$5000.00

Example 2: Cash Receipt - part 2


11000 Cash $5000.00

99999Clearing Account

$5000.00


Bank Reconciliation Reports

With a single CD or CR transaction, one of the accounts will have an opposite sign than would be expected on the corresponding tab in Activities > Reconcile Cash Accounts. If Example 3 were entered as a Cash Disbursement, the Checks/Disbursements tab for account 11000 would be (5,000.00) and the Checks/Disbursements tab for account 11001 would be 5,000.00. It may be confusing to see (5,000.00) on a Checks/Disbursements tab.

NOTE: If a cash transfer is made from one fund to another but within the same cash account, the document amount will show in bank reconciliation as $0.00, the net effect to the cash account.

ReportsThe Reconciliation is complete once the unreconciled difference prompt displays a zero balance. Print your reconciliation reports to complete the process.

On the tool bar you may select the Print button. You will then be prompted to select the Summary or the Detail report.

Print: Reconcile Cash Accounts

Use the Print to Screen , Print Preview or Print buttons from the tool bar available on the Activities > Reconcile Cash Accounts form. Choose to view the reconciliation report in detail or summary and then click OK to display the Print, Print Preview or Print to Screen form.

NOTE: This report is a fixed format and is not customizable.

Summary - The summary report shows only the summary information as displayed on the Summary tab, including the unreconciled difference.

Example 3: One Transaction: CR or CD


11000 Cash $5000.00

11001 Cash $5000.00

TIP: To correct an item cleared in a past month that is no longer available to select, first determine when the item was cleared using one of the analysis reports. Then open Bank Reconciliation and enter the reconciliation date that is the same as the cleared date of the item. On the item’s tab, click View All and deselect the check from the cleared items.

TIP: If you need to print the reconciliation report for a prior month, you may retrieve the information by selecting the Reconciliation ID from the drop-down menu.
