### Bank Reconciliation Statement
|
|
|
|
A Bank Reconciliation is a process that explains the difference between the
|
|
bank balance shown in an organisation's bank statement, as supplied by the
|
|
bank, and the corresponding amount shown in the organisation's own accounting
|
|
records at a particular point in time.
|
|
|
|
Such differences may occur, for example, because a cheque or a list of cheques
|
|
issued by the organisation has not been presented to the bank, a banking
|
|
transaction, such as a credit received, or a charge made by the bank, has not
|
|
yet been recorded in the organisations books, or either the bank or the
|
|
organisation itself has made an error.
|
|
|
|
The Bank Reconciliation statement in ERPNext comes in the form of a report.
|
|

|
When you get the report, check whether the field 'Balance as per bank' matches
|
|
the Bank Account Statement. If there is a match then all the clearance dates
|
|
are updated. If there is a mismatch then check clearance dates and journal
|
|
entries.
|
|
|
|
To add clearance entries go to Accounts > Tools > Bank Reconciliation
