Bank

Upload bank statements and reconcile transactions against documents and liabilities.

Business and above

Prepare the statement

Download a PDF account statement from your bank. It must include opening and closing balances, not just a transaction list. For example, use a Revolut account statement rather than an individual transfer receipt.

The module works with uploaded statements. Adding an IBAN to invoice settings does not by itself synchronize bank transactions.

Upload and review

  1. Open Bank and select Upload statement.
  2. Choose the file and wait for processing.
  3. Open the completed statement and check the account, period and balances.
  4. Review its transactions and suggested matches.

If the extracted transactions do not reconcile with the balances, the application does not save them as a successfully processed statement. Check that the file is complete and readable. If balances are missing, download the correct statement type from the bank.

Match a transaction

Review the date, counterparty, reference, amount and currency. Select the corresponding invoice, expense or other supported liability and check the displayed remaining balance before confirming.

A suggested match is assistance, not your confirmation. Similar names or equal amounts are not enough if the document number or period does not match.

For a partial payment, check how much is covered and what remains. Do not add the same payment manually if you are already recording it through reconciliation.

Tip · Partial payment example

The invoice is for EUR 1,000 and the receipt is EUR 600. Check that the proposed match covers EUR 600 and leaves EUR 400 outstanding. Do not mark the whole invoice as paid. For the next receipt, check the remaining amount before matching it.

Correct a match

Remove the match if a transaction is linked to the wrong document. This reverses the associated payment. Then choose the correct document and check the balances of both.

A statement with confirmed matches cannot be deleted while those matches remain. Dismiss a transaction only after reviewing why it should not be matched.

Review the month

Review pending transactions and the liabilities summary. “All transactions reconciled” does not replace checking that every document and expense for the month has been entered. Compare with Purchases, Personnel and Accounting.
