External reconciliation is the comparison of transactions opened in SAP Business One with an external account statement. This is usually a bank statement. However, it may be an account statement from the business partner that contains a list of transactions that the customer sends to you as a supplier, for example.
For external bank statement reconciliations, SAP Business One supports three different processes:
- Record transactions from bank statements and then reconcile the transactions using the reconciliation function.
- Post and reconcile bank statements using the bank statement processing function (see Defining bank statement processing and Working with Bank statement processing).
In addition to performing reconciliations, you can also do the following:
- View, cancel, recreate, and print previous external reconciliations
- Print reconciliations when you perform external reconciliations manually or automatically.
