Bank Account Reconciliation

In general, all bank account reconciliation is done in Oracle Cash Management. For information on how to perform bank account reconciliation in Cash Management, see: Reconciling Bank Statements Automatically.

However, at this time it is not possible to reconcile retail term money deals in Cash Management. Therefore, you must reconcile retail term money deals in Treasury. When you reconcile a retail term money deal, the transactions that make up the deal are updated to reflect the date they were settled and the principal and interest amounts are adjusted accordingly. Once you reconcile an amount for a retail term money transaction, you cannot reverse it.

Treasury reconciliation can be set up so that Bank account reconciliations in performed automatically, automatically with manual confirmation, or manually. For information on how to set up bank account reconciliations, see: Import Sources and Reconciliation.

Before you can begin to reconcile a bank account you must either enter the bank statements into Treasury and then you must transfer those bank statements. For more information on entering, importing and transferring bank statements, see: Bank Statement Input.
