Total Fields

Use the fields in this portion of the tab to troubleshoot the reconciliation.

These fields are associated with the formula used to balance the bank statement. The cash formula is the current balance minus outstanding checks, plus deposits in transit, and plus or minus general ledger adjustments equals the adjusted bank balance. When the difference between the Adjusted GL Balance field and the Adjusted Bank Balance field is zero, the system enables the Reconcile button. If the Reconcile button does not display, refer to Bank Reconciliation Troubleshooting for more information.
