BANK RECONCILIATION USING THE BATCH ENTRY MODE
  
To use this facility, the View all bank statements option on the Setup - Preferences - Data Parameters menu option must not be selected.

If the View all bank statements option on the Setup - Preferences - Data Parameters menu option is selected, the Reconcile Bank Account screen will be displayed.
Once your receipt transactions have been entered in the Receipts Journal or batch and the payment transactions have been entered in the Payments Journal or batch, for a specific month or period, you may reconcile your cash book (payments and receipts batches) with the bank statement. Before you may start to reconcile the bank statement is received by post or fetched from your bank or financial institution.

If you are registered for online banking, you may download a bank statement from your bank or financial institution or import a bank statement, which is saved in a valid file format on your system. If you reconcile the bank statement, in the Input - Reconcile Bank menu option, you may then select to display the bank statement transactions to reconcile with the unreconciled items for the receipts and payments batches.

If you have any repeating entries setup for your receipts batch and payments batch in the Edit - Repeating Entries menu option, you need to copy them to the normal batch as they will not reflect in the cash book for a specific period when doing the Bank reconciliation. Examples of such entries in the receipts batch would be amounts (debit orders) paid into your bank account on a monthly basis). Examples for the payments batch would be amounts (debit orders) paid out of your bank account on a monthly basis).

TurboCASH allows you to reconcile your Bank Accounts before you update or post your Payments and Receipts Journals to the ledger. This will allow you to easily correct any errors found (edit transactions, insert transactions which is omitted, delete transactions which is entered twice, reverse all the transactions if entered on the incorrect side, etc., when doing the bank reconciliation. You may also enter any transactions (such as bank charges and interest), which is listed in your bank statement but does not appear in your cash book. You may post or update your batches after your reconciliation is completed, unless you are working on a "Client Machine" in a network environment.
