## Overview

This section covers keeping cash records accurate. Reconciliation matches bank statement transactions with bank account ledger entries, using automatic and manual matching, so missing payments and errors show up. Statements can come from imports or bank feeds, and payments can be applied to open invoices through the Payment Reconciliation Journal.

The pages split by task. "Manage bank accounts" gives the general picture, "Reconcile bank accounts" explains the matching process, and "Reconcile bank accounts and apply payments" covers setup of bank feeds, statement import and payment matching rules. A preview page describes Copilot assistance for matching and suggesting G/L accounts. Two further pages cover creating bank deposits and transferring funds between bank accounts.

Start with "Manage bank accounts" or "Reconcile bank accounts" for the basics, then move to the payment application page if you need to apply payments to invoices automatically.

## Key points

- Reconciliation matches bank statement lines to bank account ledger entries using automatic and manual matching, and shows outstanding transactions.
- Statements can be imported or fed through bank feeds; the Payment Reconciliation Journal applies payments to open invoices automatically.
- Payment matching rules control how payments are matched to invoices.
- Copilot assistance (preview, 2025 release waves 1 and 2) improves transaction matching and suggests G/L accounts for unmatched transactions, supplementing auto-match.
- Copilot has a 'Post if fully applied' option, and match proposals can be reviewed and saved.
- Bank deposits (2022 release wave 1) register cash deposits as one document posting to bank, customer and vendor ledgers, as a lump sum or by individual line.
- Bank deposits handle multiple deposit sources and dimensions.
- Transfers between bank accounts use the General Journals page, with same or different currency codes and exchange rate adjustments.
