Reconciliation

Review a reconciliation change blocked by period rules

Use the accounting period state when a statement action cannot proceed.

Updated 2026-11-11

Reconciliation changes require current account access and open accounting periods. A statement window can be visible for review while a requested match or other change is not permitted under the current accounting period state.

  1. Read the exact error returned by the attempted action.
  2. Confirm the statement dates and the company’s relevant accounting period state.
  3. Have the authorized accounting reviewer resolve the period question through the supported workflow before preparing another action.

Preserve the statement’s real dates

Do not move a statement boundary or change a valid transaction date solely to avoid a closed-period restriction. Those dates are evidence and should continue to reflect the actual records.

If the request was definitively rejected, discard the rejected retained request and refresh before preparing a corrected action. If the result is uncertain instead, recover the original request outcome first. The message distinction matters because a failed page response does not always mean no change was saved. Keep the statement document and your intended correction explanation available for the authorized reviewer. Once the period and access conditions permit the action, recheck current activity and evidence before submitting. An open period removes one prerequisite but does not establish that the proposed match or completion is correct.
