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 CalculatedThere 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.
