The Bank Reconciliation window allows you to enter the ending balance from your bank statement and to display items listed in the Reconciliation Adjustments window in date or check number order.
The Reconciliation Adjustments window shows various totals at the bottom of the window that help you reconcile your bank statement. These totals show the REMS Property Manager Balance for the bank account number you specified on the Bank Reconciliation window, Less Uncleared Items (this balance changes whenever you clear or unclear an item), and the Adjusted REMS Property Manager Balance. When this balance is equal to the Bank Statement Balance you entered on the previous window, you know your bank statement agrees with REMS Property Manager and your reconciliation is complete.
To mark items that have cleared your bank, you may double-click on the appropriate line in the list box or you may press the Return key. The status of the line will change from “No” to “Yes” and the selection automatically advances to the next line.
When you have finished reconciling your bank statement, you may accept the changes you have made, accept the changes and print a listing of all uncleared transactions, or you may cancel the changes you have made.
