Open Unmatched Items for Bank Account Reconciliations [v26.1]
Starting from version 26.1, customers who begin using Account Reconciliation mid-year can load historical unmatched items from prior periods into their first active reconciliation period. This ensures the reconciliation equation balances from day one.
Prerequisite: Load open unmatched items before starting the reconciliation process for your first active period. This step is required to ensure that historical unmatched items are available for matching.
Open unmatched items are supported on both the GL side and the Support side of bank account reconciliations:
- GL Side (Book Side): Items recorded in the GL but not yet reflected in the bank statement.
- Support Side (Statement Side): Items appearing in the bank statement but not yet recorded in the GL.
This section covers all operations for open unmatched items on the GL side of the reconciliation.
Note: For Enterprise users, the + and Upload buttons on the GL side are available in the first active period only, during the Preparation stage.
Adding GL Items via Bulk Upload
- Navigate to the Reconciliation Details page for the account.
- On the GL side, click the Upload button (↑).
- Click Download Template to download the CSV template.
- Populate the template with the historical GL-side unmatched items.
-
Click Upload and select the completed CSV file.
The system validates all required fields. If any row fails validation, the entire file is rejected and an error message displays.
- The successfully uploaded items appear in the GL side of the Unmatched tab.
Note: The uploaded CSV file is saved as an attachment. The system detects duplicate files based on file content—if an identical file already exists, a message displays indicating the file already exists. File deletion is permitted only during the Preparation stage. Deleting an uploaded file removes all associated items, including both matched and unmatched items.
