Reconciliation

Refresh a reconciliation’s recorded totals

Recompute balances from current recorded activity and matches.

Updated 2026-11-11

Refresh recorded totals recalculates the reconciliation from current recorded activity and matches. Use it when you need the summary to reflect the current records after relevant accounting or matching work.

  1. Open Manage reconciliation for the intended period.
  2. Choose Refresh recorded totals.
  3. After the result is saved, inspect Recorded book balance, Ending balance, Difference, and any remaining unresolved activity.

Recalculation does not invent evidence

The action refreshes totals from the records that exist. It does not upload a missing statement, create absent transactions, or decide which unmatched lines belong together.

If the difference remains, investigate the account, dates, opening and ending balances, and individual activity. Do not repeat the calculation as a substitute for resolving an actual mismatch. Current company permissions and open accounting periods still govern changes. If the statement changed while the action panel was open, close and refresh before preparing a new request. A zero result after recalculation is useful evidence of balance agreement, but completion also requires current statement evidence and fully resolved activity. Inspect those conditions before describing the window as reconciled.
