Bank Reconciliation Tab of the Banks Settings Form

Use the Bank Reconciliation tab to set up miscellaneous charges for your enterprise and to indicate if electronic payment runs will be summarized.

Contents

Field Description
Summarize Electronic Payments Runs in Bank Reconciliation Select one of two settings for this option:
  • Yes: Select this setting to summarize all individual payments in an electronic payments run for the bank as a single transaction on the Payments tab of the Bank Statement Reconciliation form, so that you can mark them cleared as a group. You can select Yes only if no existing electronic payment runs for the bank have a mix of cleared and uncleared payments. (In other words, the payments in each electronic payment run must be either all cleared or all selected.)
  • No: Select this setting to display all individual payments in an electronic payments run on the Payments tab of the Bank Statement Reconciliation form, so that you can individually mark them as cleared.

Most enterprises base this setting on how the bank shows electronic payments on bank statements.
