External Reconciliation Window 
Use this window to perform external reconciliations either manually or automatically.
Note
If bank statement processing is activated in SAP Business One, you must perform external reconciliations directly within the bank statement processing functionality. Do not use this function to reconcile transactions from your bank statements. For more information, see the online help for SAP Business One and How to Use Bank Statement Processing in Release 2007 in the documentation area of SAP Business One Customer Portal at http://service.sap.com/smb/sbocustomer/documentation.
The window is divided into four identical tables:
The tables on the left display the open transactions in books; the tables on the right display the open transactions in external statements.
The upper tables display the open transactions on both sides (books and bank) that meet the selection criteria in the External Reconciliation – Selection Criteria window. The lower tables display the transactions that you selected for reconciliation.
To open the window, choose
