Statement notes can record context for the account window, such as where the statement came from or a known item that needs follow-up. Saving validates a maximum of 5,000 characters, so keep the explanation focused even if the text area allows more typing.
- Identify the fact a later reviewer would need to understand the period.
- Write concise notes tied to the selected account and exact dates.
- Check the balances and notes together before starting or saving the period.
Notes do not replace source evidence
A note saying statement checked is not the same as selecting a verified statement document and recording the required evidence. Keep the document available through the appropriate Documents workflow.
Avoid pasting full bank statements, credentials, or unrelated correspondence into the notes. Summarize the relevant question and use the proper record for supporting files. If the save rejects the notes, shorten them to the supported length without deleting the key factual context. The notes field is also separate from the required Reason for ignoring activity, completing a reconciliation, or reopening windows. Use each explanation in the action where it belongs so the history clearly connects the evidence to the decision being made.
