Bank Reconciliation

Table of Contents

Overview

When bank statements are received, the bank accounts can be reconciled to find any discrepancies between the bank and the bank account transaction record in TRX Enterprise. Interest and bank charges are entered as part of the reconciliation process.


Only one bank account can be reconciled at a time and it must be completed or saved before reconciling another account. The reconciliation process can be saved and restarted so that it does not have to be done all at once.

Transaction will need to be processed in the Undeposited Funds screen. See guide Here
