    1. Trans (transactions loaded) – The number of detail transactions that are contained in the bank file.
    2. Reconciled– The number of detail transactions from the bank statement that have been reconciled with transactions in the system. This number is 0 (zero) until the Bank Reconciliation process is complete.

After the Bank Reconciliation process is complete, if this number is less than the number of transactions loaded, it indicates that there are transactions in the bank file that did not match those in the system. These transactions are referred to as reconciliation exceptions. You need to resolve the exceptions.

    • Load Failed: Indicates the bank files could not load.
    • Fatal Error: Indicates a fatal error occurred during automatic reconciliation processing.
    • Loading: Indicates the bank files are being loaded.
    • Reconciling: Indicates the files are being reconciled.
    • Ready: Indicates you have loaded the bank statement file and run automatic reconciliation, but some transactions could not be matched. These transactions are exceptions that you must resolve.
    • Complete: Indicates reconciliation processing is complete and all transactions were successfully matched.
  2. Exceptions– Select to view exceptions on the Automatic Reconciliation Exceptions page. This link is available only if there are exceptions when the reconciliation process is complete.
