Close Multiple Bank Statements

Use the Close Utility option on the Bank Statement Reconciliation form toolbar to mark multiple reconciled statements as closed.

Closing a statement removes the statement date from the list of "in progress" statements on the Bank Statement Selection dialog box, to make it easier to select statements in the future. It also disables options on the other tabs on the Bank Statement Reconciliation form. However, you can clear the Closed check box on the Main tab at any time to reopen a statement.

The main purpose of the Close Utility option is to provide an easy way to close all of your old statements the first time that you upgrade to a version of Vision that offers the option to close statements. After that, when you complete each reconciliation, you can use the Closed check box on the Main tab to close the statements individually.

To close multiple statements, complete the following steps:

1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Accounting > Bank Reconciliation.
2. On the Bank Statement Selection dialog box, use the dialog box options to select a statement. It doesn't matter which statement you select. This step is just necessary to display the Bank Statement Reconciliation form.
3. Click Close Utility on the form toolbar.
4. If the bank for which you want to close statements is not displayed in Bank, select the correct bank.
5. In Close Statements prior to, enter the date that you want to use as the cutoff date for closing statements, or click and select the date.
6. Click OK.
7. On the confirmation message box, click Yes. The utility closes all statements for the selected bank that have statement dates earlier than the date you entered in Close Statements prior to.
