Supplier Reconciliation Calculations

Reconciliation Balance (Calculated from our balance).

 

Reconciliation Balance (Our Balance)

The Reconciliation Balance represents what your system believes is payable to the supplier, based on all transactions up to the reconciliation date.

 

How It's Calculated

There are two ways to understand the formula:

 

Method 1:

Reconciliation Balance =

All credit amounts for the period  (Unreconciled or Not Due is ignored)

Less Outstanding Invoices

Less Goods Not Received (GRNs not matched)

Minus Invoices Not Due Now

Do Not Pay the RTS

 

Method 2 (Simplified View):

Recon Balance =

Our Balance

Unreconciled Credits

Unreconciled Debits (or Do Not Pay RTS)

All less or minus credit amounts

 

Note: The goal of the reconciliation is for your calculated Reconciliation Balance to match the Supplier’s Statement Balance. Any difference should be investigated before processing.

 

Amount in Dispute

Amount in Dispute = Less Outstanding Invoices + Less Goods Not Received + Minus Invoices Not Due  - Do Not Pay the RTS.

 

Difference with supplier balance

Difference with supplier balance

= Supplier Statement Balance - Recon Balance (calculated from our balance)  + Amount in Dispute.

If everything is correct the difference must be 0.

Please Note: The difference with supplier balance must be zero. If not, find and correct the fault. If the difference is smaller than R1 then you can select the Fix Small Difference < 1 button to automatically do a journal entry for the difference.

 

Our Balance on Statement Date

Total credits minus total debits (completed and non-completed values).

If you want to compare the value on the grid with Our Balance on Statement Date, click the All button on the menu.

 

Amount Payable

Amount Payable is the amount you must pay the supplier, also the amount used to calculate the Discount Amount.

= Supplier Balance - Less Payments Not Credited On Statement or Do Not Pay The RTS

 

 

Notes:

There should be no unreconciled entries in the reconciliation form. Change the statement date to exclude items that are not applicable for this period.

 

Access Control & Security Settings

To restrict access to specific fields or actions within the reconciliation process, use the Security Setup feature.
