To Reconcile AP Accounts and AR Accounts with the General Ledger Accounts

You use the Discrepancies by Account (AP409010) and Discrepancies by Account (AR409010) forms to find discrepancies between the balances of AP accounts and AR accounts in the GL and in a subledger (AP or AR) with the accounts listed for a particular range of financial periods.

Note: To open any form, you can navigate to it or search for it (by its name or by its form ID without periods). For more information about search capabilities, see Search.

To Reconcile AP Accounts and AR Accounts with General Ledger Accounts

  1. Open the Discrepancies by Account (AP409010) or Discrepancies by Account (AR409010) form.
  2. In the Branch box, select the branch for which you want to view data.
  3. In the From Period and To Period boxes, specify the start and end of the range of financial periods where you want to find discrepancies.
  4. In the Account box, select the AP or AR account in which you want to find discrepancies.
  5. Optional (if subaccounts are used in your system): In the Subaccount box, do one of the following:
    • Specify a subaccount to view account information, including any discrepancy, for the account-subaccount pair.
    • Specify a mask to view information on a group of subaccounts. To define a mask, specify the values for only some of the segments. The system will list a row for each account-subaccount pair that meets the selection criteria.
    • Leave this box blank to view the balances of the account detailed by all relevant subaccounts of the account.
  6. Select the Show Only Documents with Discrepancies check box.
  7. In the table, view the list of accounts displayed by the system and the discrepancies in them (shown in the Discrepancy column). Notice the records with nonzero amounts in the Non-AP Transactions or Non-AR Transactions column.
  8. Optional: Click the link in the Discrepancy column for a particular row to open the Discrepancies by Vendor (AP409020) or Discrepancies by Customer (AR409020) form to view more details.
