Statements and transaction imports

Check posting separately from statement extraction completion

Confirm the transaction and accounting stages after a document finishes processing.

Updated 2026-11-11

A completed statement extraction creates saved transactions for review. The statement interface explains that nothing is posted automatically, so a finished document job is not the same as completed accounting.

  1. Open Review extracted transactions from the statement result.
  2. Check the source dates, amounts and financial account against the original document.
  3. Review the current categories and any unresolved questions, then use the authorized accounting workflow for posting where applicable.

Draft categories are proposals. The saved proposal snapshot can help explain a suggested treatment, but it has not changed the books on its own.

Trace a missing report amount

If extracted activity does not appear in a ledger report, check the transaction’s current review and posting state before reimporting the statement. A source row can exist while later accounting work remains unfinished.

Also confirm the report period and accounting source. Native Institution Books and an external authoritative provider do not necessarily use the same write path. When reporting a discrepancy, include the statement, transaction and report context so the source stage and accounting stage can be investigated separately.
