Reference: Book-to-Bank Reports

You can use the book-to-bank reports to perform a thorough book-to-bank analysis that meets audit and management reporting requirements. After you run bank reconciliations, you can use the summary and subreports to review variances between the bank account and cash ledger balances and determine the corrective actions to take.
This table describes the reports in more detail:

Book to Bank Summary
Compares bank statement balances against the ledger bank balances in a summarized, high-level format. Using key metrics, you can identify the root causes of discrepancies between the balances for a specified company or company hierarchy, period, and bank accounts. You can drill down into the report column details, or access the associated subreports for more logical subgroupings of the details.
Graphical indicators on the right side of the report represent the status of your bank account balances:
  • Green circle: All differences between the bank balance and cash ledger balance are accounted for and explained in the report.
  • Red diamond: Unexplained differences between the bank balance and cash ledger balance require further analysis.

  • Drill down on bank statement lines to view the details.
You can then decide whether to:
  • Create an ad hoc bank transaction for either the bank statement line amount or the difference between the statement line and a transaction.

You can then decide whether to:
  • Create an ad hoc bank transaction for either the reconcilable item amount or the difference between the statement line and a reconcilable item.
  • Reconcile a reconcilable item with the corresponding bank statement line to clear the transaction.
