Purpose

Mark accounts payable payments as reconciled.

Overview

Use Accounts Payable Payment Reconcile for bank reconciliation purposes. You can select individual payments, or payments in a range for a specific account and payment method. You can also import payment reconciliations in Accounts Payable Payment Reconcile Import.

Reconciling Payments

To reconcile payments:

  1. Enter a cash account for which you want to perform reconciliation in the Cash Account field. This defaults to the default cash account.

  2. Enter a date for the reconciliation in the Reconciliation Date field. This defaults to the current date.

  3. Click the Lookup button to the right of the Payment Method field, and select a payment method for the payments you want to reconcile.

  4. If you want to reconcile a range of payments, select the Select Payment ID Range check box, and then enter the range of payment ID's in the From and To fields. If you want to select individual payments, select payments in the Available A/P Payment Items grid, enter the bank statement amount and cleared date, and then click the right arrow button. You can use the Cleared Date option and the Update button to set the cleared date for all payments. If you add a payment that is not in your default currency, A/P Payment Reconciliation Exchange Rate appears, and allows you to enter an exchange rate.

Note If you modified the currency exchange rate, a currency exchange gain/loss entry will be generated during the next accounts payable payment posting to the general ledger.

  1. When you have selected all the payments you want to reconcile, click the Reconcile A/P Payments button in the ribbon. The payments are reconciled.
