Enter Bank Statements Manually

Enter Bank Statements Manually

  • Your prior day bank statement for the account you want to reconcile.
  • Configure the
    Bank Statement Event
    business process and security policy in the Banking and Settlement functional area.
With manual entry, you can enter your prior day bank statement lines into Workday. You can use separate tasks to reconcile the statement lines with account transactions.
  1. Access the
    Record Bank Statement
    task and select
    Manual Entry Bank Statement
    .
  2. Specify the
    Statement Beginning Date
    , and the
    Statement Date
    from the bank statement.
    When you have existing statements for a bank account, Workday automatically populates the statement beginning date with the previous statement date for the account.
  3. Specify the
    Beginning Balance
    and
    Ending Balance
    from the bank statement.
    Workday automatically populates the beginning balance as the ending balance from the previous statement for the bank account.
  4. Add 1 or more
    Account Transactions
    . As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Type Code
    Select a type code that identifies the type of activity on the bank statement line. Example: Type code 475 identifies a paid check amount.
    You can select predefined custom type codes or standard type codes. The type codes are based on the bank statement format associated with the bank account.
    Value Date
    (Optional) Enter the date when the financial institution recognizes the full transaction value on the bank statement line. When you specify a value date, you can:
    • Group multiple bank statement lines or match individual lines by their value date using matching rules for automatic bank reconciliations.
    • Generate ad hoc bank transactions and the associated accounting based on the value date for manual or automatic bank reconciliations. Workday posts the journal lines to the accounting period containing the value date. If this period is closed, Workday posts the journal lines to the next open period.
      If you don't specify a value date, the ad hoc transactions reflect the bank statement line date by default.
  5. (Optional) Click
    Save for Later
    , you can use the
    Find Bank Statements
    report later to locate this statement by bank account and statement date. The related actions menu enables you to edit or reconcile it.
  6. When you've entered all the statement data from the bank statement, verify that:
    • The calculated ending balance matches the ending balance.
    • The
      Difference
      field displays a zero.
    If not, check your entries for typographical errors in the amount fields.
  7. Click
    Submit for Reconciliation
    .
You can now reconcile this bank statement manually or automatically.
