Credit Card Transaction Summary Grid
This grid displays a summary of the detailed information from the Charges tab for each secondary credit card that is associated with the statement's primary credit card. Each row in the grid summarizes and displays the total amounts for a secondary credit card that is associated with the statement's primary credit card.
If you use multiple currencies, the amounts display in the currency of the credit card, which is defined in . This is the currency in which you receive the credit card statement and is likely the currency in which you pay the credit card company. If the credit card currency is different than the functional currency of the credit card company, the Functional Currency Cleared Charges (<currency>) field also displays in the grid.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Secondary Account | This field displays a secondary credit card that is associated with the primary account for the statement. |
| Imported Charges | This field displays only if you import charges from a credit card statement into Vantagepoint for the primary credit card. This is the total amount of all imported charges that displays on the Charges tab for a secondary credit card. These charges display with an amount in the Imported Amount field on the Charges tab. |
| Total Charges | This field displays only if you do not import charges from a credit card statement into Vantagepoint for the primary credit card. This is the sum of the amounts in the Cleared and Uncleared/Missing Charges columns for a secondary credit card. |
| Cleared Charges | This field displays the total of the charges for a secondary credit card that have been posted in
Vantagepoint (via an expense report or AP disbursement) and specified as cleared on the Charges tab.
If you import charges from a credit card statement into Vantagepoint for the primary credit card, the cleared charges total is the total of the amounts in the Posted Amount field on the Charges tab for charges that have the Cleared check box selected. If you do not import charges from a credit card statement into Vantagepoint, the cleared charges total is the total of the amounts in the Amount column on the Charges tab for charges that have the Cleared check box selected. |
| Uncleared/Missing Charges | This field displays the total of uncleared charges on the Charges tab for a secondary credit card.
If you import charges from a credit card statement into
Vantagepoint for the primary credit card, this amount includes both of the following:
If you do not import charges from a credit card statement into
Vantagepoint for the primary credit card, this amount includes both of the following:
|
| Functional Currency Cleared Charges (<currency>) | This field displays if you use multiple currencies and the credit card currency (entered in Credit Card Settings and used to pay the credit card company) is different than the functional currency of the credit card company. This field displays the functional currency amount of the original expense report and AP disbursement transactions from the time of the posting.
You can use the amount in this field to calculate the amount for a journal entry to record the gain or loss in the value of an expense amount as the result of exchange rate fluctuation during the time between when an expense report is posted and the credit card voucher is paid. After the statement is reconciled, you can calculate the amount for the manual journal entry by taking the functional currency cleared charges amount less the amount of the voucher in the functional currency that was entered to pay the credit card statement (as seen on the AP Voucher Posting Log). The journal entry would be made to the company paid accounts and the gain/loss account (likely the realized gain/loss account if the credit card company has already been paid). |
| Totals | The totals for each column in the grid display on the last row at the bottom of the grid. |
Other Fields
The amounts below the grid show you whether or not the statement is completely reconciled.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Statement Beginning Balance | This field displays the beginning balance from your credit card statement. |
| Statement Ending Balance | This field displays the ending balance from your credit card statement. |
| Cleared Balance | This field displays the total of all cleared changes from all secondary credit cards for a statement. |
| Additional Balance | Enter any missing amounts, such as finance charges or monthly fees for a credit card statement. If you import charges from credit card statements into Vantagepoint and you would also like to import the finance charges/monthly fees, you could set up a secondary credit card in Credit Card Settings for finance charges/fees to record these charges. |
| Difference | This field displays the statement ending balance less the cleared balance and less the additional balance. A statement with a 0 difference is completely reconciled. |
| Notes | This field displays notes that you enter during the reconciliation process. |
