Adjusting Check in Bank Rec to Match Amount Cleared by the Bank

  • Updated

Since the beginning balance from your bank statement does not take into account the full amount of the check (but instead only subtracted $1.00), enter a Credit to Bank (using a transaction code that does not affect the GL, meaning the period and year will be gray in your window) for the $369.00. Select both the original check (that should have cleared) and the credit.  This should get you back to $0.00 for your difference.

So you can clear the balance from the statement next month, (and to get your bank rec cash back in sync), enter a Debit to Bank for the $369.00 (using a transaction code that does not affect the GL, meaning the period and year will be grayed out in your window).  You will select it and clear it when the bank clears the balance of the check next month.  I would use the original Check number for the "reference."

SN: If you do not have a transaction code to make adjustments to bank rec without affecting the GL, you can enter the same in AP Manager under Tools, Transaction Codes. To make sure it does not affect the GL, do not enter an "Offset Account."
