Process Bank Transactions

Form ID: (CA306000)

On this form, you can import transactions from multiple bank statements for a particular cash account, which corresponds to the account in a bank. Transactions imported from multiple statements are displayed in the table as one list. To view transactions for each imported statement, you use the Import Bank Transactions (CA306500) form, where you can select a cash account and the reference number of the imported statement.

You can then manually match or perform automatic matching of the transactions listed on the form to documents in the system over the same date range, resulting in the clearing of documents. You clear documents as a preliminary step before the actual reconciliation. You can also specify the details of a payment the system should create to match a transaction for which a match was not found.

Note: Payments that the system creates during the processing of the matched transactions are not subject to approval, even if the process of approval is set up.

You can also navigate to this form from the Process Bank Transactions (CA501000) form, where you can auto-match transactions on a bank statement for any number of cash accounts to transactions in the system. The results of the matching are saved automatically and need to be processed on the current form.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.

Button Description
Auto-Match

Initiates the process of matching transactions from the bank statement to documents in the system by using the settings specified in the Transaction Matching Settings dialog box (which opens when you click Match Settings on the form toolbar of this form) when the current cash account is selected on this form. If no settings were modified and saved previously in the Transaction Matching Settings dialog box when the current cash account was selected on this form, the system uses the default settings specified on the Bank Statements tab of the Cash Management Preferences (CA101000) form.

If you have configured rules for document creation on the Bank Transaction Rules (CA204500) form, the process will try to apply all the active rules to the transactions for which a match was not found.

The process ignores any filters set on the table columns.

Process Initiates the processing of matched transactions and transactions for which details of a new document were specified, resulting in clearing of the documents. The processing takes place on all lines, in spite of any filters set on table.
Match Settings Opens the Transaction Matching Settings dialog box.
Upload File

Opens the Statement File Upload dialog box, which you can use to upload a new file or import the contents of an existing file from the file storage.

The following formats are supported:

  • OFX (Open Financial Exchange)
  • QBO (QuickBooks Online)
  • QFX (Quicken File eXchange)
Note: Before you upload the file, make sure that the numbers of the bank accounts are associated with the appropriate cash accounts in the system. To do this, on the Cash Accounts (CA202000) form, for each cash account, specify the bank account number as the External Ref. Number.

This button is displayed on the form toolbar if the cash account in the selected row is not mapped to a bank account in an active bank feed on the Bank Feeds (CA205500) form.

Retrieve Transactions

Retrieves transactions for one account or for all accounts of the bank feed, depending on the state of the Import Bank Statement for Single Cash Account check box on the Bank Statements tab of the Cash Management Preferences (CA101000) form.

If the Mapping of Multiple Accounts for Bank Feeds feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, and the Map Multiple Bank Accounts to One Cash Account check box is selected for the bank feed on the Bank Feeds (CA205500) form, the system does the following before retrieving transactions:

  1. Checks whether a bank statement exists with a suitable Statement Start Date and Statement Period.
  2. If the dates of the transactions fall within the range of the Start Balance Date and End Balance Date of the bank statement, adds these transactions to the statement.
  3. If no statement with a suitable date is found, creates a new bank statement and adds the transactions to it.

    Thus, if Statement Start Date or Statement Period on the Bank Feeds (CA205500) form for a bank account is different from this setting of other bank accounts mapped to the same cash account, the system will create a separate bank statement for this bank account.

Once the retrieval is complete, in the table in the left pane, the system displays an updated list of unmatched bank transactions for the selected account or a list of matched bank transactions if expense receipts were created for these bank transactions.

This button is displayed instead of the Upload File button if on the Cash Accounts (CA202000) form, Bank Feed: PLAID or Bank Feed: MX is selected in the Statement Import Source box for the cash account of the selected row.

Table 1. Transaction Matching Settings Dialog BoxIn this dialog box, you can specify your preferences for matching and for relevance calculation; these preferences will be used solely for the selected cash account.

A check box that you select if you need to match one bank transaction to multiple documents. This check box is cleared by default.

When you select this check box, the system fills in the table in the Detail area of the tab with the outstanding payments that you can match to the selected bank transaction. These payments include the ones whose amounts are less than or equal to the bank transaction amount and that are made in the same direction as the transaction (for example, a receipt transaction can be matched to an AR payment, a refund, and a CA receipt transaction).

Match to Receipts and Disbursements

A check box that you select if you need to match a bank transaction to receipts and disbursements. The check box is only available if the Match to Multiple Payments check box is selected, and it is cleared by default.

When you select this check box, the system adds the available receipts and disbursements to the list of the documents that you can match to the bank transaction and displays them in the Detail area of the tab. With both the Match to Multiple Payments and Match to Receipts and Disbursements check boxes selected, documents of any amounts and directions are available for matching. The system displays a plus sign for the documents with the same direction as the bank transaction and the minus sign (–) for the documents with the opposite direction.

Transaction Amount The bank transaction amount.
Matched Amount The amount of the selected matched documents. The matching is successful only when the sum of the matched document amounts (Matched Amount) equals the amount of the bank statement transaction (Transaction Amount). Otherwise, the system cannot process the bank transaction.

Tip: You can match debit adjustments to Disbursement bank transactions. This is required if the company pays the vendor's bills and debit adjustments at the same time and the total amount of the bills exceeds the total amount of the debit adjustments.

If the Use Credit Terms in Credit Memos check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form and credit memos with cash discounts have been created in the system, these credit memos are shown with cash discounts on the current tab.

Tip: You can match credit memos to Receipt bank transactions. This is required if the company receives payments for invoices and credit memos together and the total amount of the invoices exceeds the total amount of the credit memos.

If you choose a matching document among the listed ones, you select the check box in the Matched column.

Note: If an invoice or bill is paid by line, it appears on the current tab as one row and is matched to a bank transaction as a whole document. The invoice or bill is paid by line if the Pay by Line check box is selected for it on the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) or Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form, respectively.

If you have invoked automatic matching and the system has found more than one matching document, you need to manually specify the match.
