How to reconcile a bank account
Match each bank statement line to a payment, receipt or journal in the books — or categorise it — so the books agree with the bank.
Who can do this: Admins and Accountants. Viewers can open it but not change anything.
Steps
Step by step
- Banking → Open the account.
- Bring in statement lines with Import statement (CSV/Excel) or add one with Add transaction.
- For each Unmatched line, click Match. Bebaak looks for payments, receipts and journals with the same amount and date range.
- Tick the right entry and click Match. The line shows Reconciled.
- No match? Click Categorise: choose Customer receipt, Vendor payment or Other, pick the party or account, and click Save & reconcile — Bebaak creates the entry.
- Check the top: Statement balance, Balance in books and Difference. Difference should be explained only by opening balances and unmatched lines.
FAQs
Questions
Why is there a difference after matching everything?
Usually the opening balance in the books differs from the bank on your start date, or a cheque is still in transit.
Tips
- Matched something wrongly? Click Un-match on the line.
