Procedure documentationAutomatically Performing External Reconciliations Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can perform automatic reconciliations when you need to reconcile a large number of transactions, or when you need to reconcile a range of business partners or G/L accounts. The process for automatically reconciling business partner transactions or G/L accounts is similar.

SAP Business One performs automatic reconciliations for pairs of transactions, and the reconciliation is done separately for each business partner or G/L account successively. If you allow automatic reconciliations with differences, SAP Business One posts any differences found to the automatic reconciliation difference account.

Note 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.

End of the note.
