Statement balance entry accepts an exact plain decimal amount with up to two decimal places. Use the currency shown in the field label and enter the number without a currency symbol or thousands separator.
- Read the statement amount and confirm its currency.
- Enter a value such as 1250.75, 1250.7, or 1250 as appropriate.
- Check the saved display to confirm the amount was interpreted correctly.
Do not round to satisfy the field
If the evidence has a different precision or unclear formatting, resolve the source amount before entering a rounded substitute. The reconciliation comparison depends on exact amounts rather than an approximate total.
A comma-formatted value such as 1,250.75 is not the plain input format, and a comma decimal separator should be converted carefully to the supported decimal-point representation without changing the value. Negative amounts use a leading minus sign. A blank opening balance is invalid, while a blank ending balance intentionally remains unknown. If the input is rejected, correct its format and recheck the source rather than repeatedly submitting unchanged text. The field’s number format does not establish that the chosen balance belongs to the selected account and statement period; verify those facts separately.
