Bank reconciliation in Business Central

The bank reconciliation process ensures that the transactions recorded in the ERP system align with those in the bank account. This critical procedure must be performed regularly to maintain accurate financial records and manage the company’s cash flow, receivables, and payables effectively.

In Business Central, the reconciliation process is supported by two dedicated tools:

• Bank Account Reconciliation: this page displays bank statement data alongside bank ledger entries from Business Central, enabling quick transaction matching, either manually or automatically. Additionally, Copilot’s AI functionalities can be used for intelligent transaction matching, streamlining the process further.
• Payment Reconciliation Journal: this page facilitates the rapid reconciliation of bank transactions with system entries. Beyond matching with bank ledger entries, it allows payments and receipts to be linked to open vendor or customer entries. Reconciliation can be completed manually or automatically, depending on the scenario.

To perform reconciliation, bank transactions must be uploaded into the system. These transactions serve as the basis for matching and posting operations.

Using dedicated tools to upload bank statements into Business Central not only keeps reconciliation data up-to-date but also enhances monitoring and control over the company’s financial indicators.

Our app Italian Bank Integration provides functionalities for importing bank statements into Business Central.
