 Bank Account Reconciliation


2025/04/29 • 7 min. to read
You must regularly reconcile your bank, receivables, and payables accounts by applying payments recorded in the bank to their related open (unpaid) invoices and credit memos or other open entries in Business Central. You can perform this task on the Payment Reconciliation Journal page, for example, by importing a bank statement file or feed to quickly register the payments. Payments are applied to open customer or vendor ledger entries based on matches between payment text and entry information. You can review and change automatic applications before you post the journal. You can choose to close any open bank account ledger entries related to the applied ledger entries when you post the journal. The bank account is automatically reconciled when all payments are applied. You can use the Bank Account Reconciliation to reconcile your Business Central bank account with the imported statement data:
  1. Go to Tasks > Bank Account Reconciliation or enter the term in What do you want to do?
  2. Create a new Bank Account Reconciliation using the + icon at the top center of the page.
  3. Select the Bank Account Number of your own bank account.
  4. If no number is generated automatically, enter a Statement No..
  5. Click on Process > Suggest Lines
  6. In the window that opens, enter the period in the field Start Date or End Date and click on OK. The imported lines are displayed on the left, the bank account ledger entries on the right.
  7. You have the following options.
    • Click Match Automatically to perform an automatic match of the two sides.
    • Select two lines and click Match Manually to match two lines.
    • Click Remove Match to remove the link.

    Note

    If statement lines cannot be completely reconciled with the bank account ledger entries (automatically or manually), it is possible that the corresponding payments have not yet been posted. Use the function Transfer to General Journal to transfer the unreconciled amount displayed in the field Difference to a journal for posting.

Troubleshooting
Difference Reason Resolution
A transaction in the internal bank account
is not on the bank statement.		 The bank transaction did not occur
although a posting was made in
Business Central.		 Make the missing money transaction (or
prompt a debitor to make it), and then
reimport the bank statement file or enter
the transaction manually.
A transaction on the bank statement
does not exist as a document or journal
line in Business Central.		 A bank transaction was made without a
corresponding posting in Business Central,
for example a journal line posting for an
expense.		 Create and post the missing entry. For
information on a quick way to initiate this, see
unter To create missing ledger entries to match
bank transactions with in Business Central Online Help.
A transaction in the internal bank
account corresponds to a bank
transaction but some information is too
different to give a match.		 Information, such as the amount or the
customer name, was entered differently in
connection with the bank transaction or the
internal posting.		 Review the information, and then manually
match the two. Optionally, correct the
information mismatch.
You must resolve the differences, for example by creating missing entries and correcting non-matching information, or by making missing money transactions, until the bank account reconciliation is completed and posted. You can fill in the Bank Statement Lines pane on the Bank Acc. Reconciliation page in the following ways:
  • Automatically, by using the Import Bank Statement function to fill in the Bank Statement Lines pane with bank transactions according to an imported file or stream provided by the bank.
  • Manually, by using the Suggest Lines function to fill in the Bank Statement Lines pane according to invoices in Business Central that have outstanding payments.
You can find more information at, reconcile bank accounts in the Business Central Online Help.
