Reconciling Bank Statements Automatically
You can use the AutoReconciliation program to automatically reconcile any bank
statement in Oracle Cash Management. There are three versions of the program:
• AutoReconciliation: Use this program to reconcile any bank statement that has
already been entered in Cash Management.
• Bank Statement Import: Use this program to import an electronic bank statement
after loading the bank statement file into the Bank Statement Open Interface
tables.
See: Importing Bank Statements, page 4-16.
• Bank Statement Import and AutoReconciliation: Use this program to import and
5-2 Oracle Cash Management User Guide
reconcile a bank statement in the same run.
You can run these programs from the Submit Request window, the Reconcile Bank
Statements window, or the Bank Statement Interface window. You can also import and
automatically reconcile a bank statement from the Bank Statement Loader program, by
using the option of Load, Import and AutoReconciliation. See: Loading the Bank
Statement Open Interface Tables, page 4-1
After you run the program, you can review the AutoReconciliation Execution Report
to
identify any reconciliation errors that need to be corrected. This report is
produced
automatically, or you can run it whenever needed. You can also review
reconciliation
errors online.
After you automatically reconcile a bank statement and correct any reconciliation
errors, you can run the Bank Statement Detail Report or use the View Bank
Statements
window to review reconciled and unreconciled statement lines. If lines remained
unreconciled, you can:
• Update the bank statement and rerun the AutoReconciliation program.
• Reconcile the statement lines manually.
Once you have reviewed your reconciliation results, you can transfer the accounting
entries to your general ledger from Oracle Payables, Oracle Receivables, and Oracle
Cash Management. If you use Oracle General Ledger, you can reconcile you General
Ledger cash account balance to your bank account balance by running the GL
Reconciliation Report.
To reconcile a bank statement automatically:
1. Define your Reconciliation options. See: About Bank Reconciliation, page 1-2 and
System Parameters, page 2-14.
Note: If you do not use Oracle Receivables AutoLockbox, and your
bank statement includes direct deposits or bank transfers, you must
create the related receipts manually in Receivables before you can
reconcile them automatically in Cash Management. See: Using
AutoLockbox, Oracle Receivables User Guide and Running
AutoLockbox, Oracle Receivables User Guide.
2. Navigate to the Submit Request window.
Note: Alternatively, you may submit the request directly from the
Reconcile Bank Statements or Bank Statement Interface windows
by selecting AutoReconciliation from the Oracle Applications Tools
menu.

3. Select the AutoReconciliation program.
4. Enter the Bank Branch for the statements that you want to reconcile. This field
is
required.
5. Enter the Bank Account Number for the statement that you want to reconcile. If
you
do not enter a bank account number, you reconcile statements for the entire bank
branch.
6. In the following fields, enter a statement number or select one from the list of
values:
• Statement Number From: the beginning statement number in the range of
statements to be reconciled.
• Statement Number To: the ending statement number in the range.
7. Enter dates in the following fields:
• Statement Date From: the opening day of the bank statement period.
• Statement Date To: the closing day of the bank statement period.
• GL Date: (Required). The default date for all General Ledger journal entries
generated by AutoReconciliation.
8. Select an Organization or leave blank to reconcile transactions from all
organizations.
9. Select a Receivable Activity and Payment Method to create Miscellaneous Receipts
for differences that AutoReconciliation encounters when matching remittance
batches or NSF transactions within tolerances.
10. Specify how to handle any NSF or rejected receipts that are in your bank
statement.
Choose one of the following actions:
• No Action to resubmit the check or request for transfer later.
• Reverse to reopen the invoice.
• Debit Memo Reverse to create a debit memo that replaces the item closed by
the original receipt.
11. Submit your request.
12. When the concurrent request is finished, review the AutoReconciliation
Execution
Report for reconciliation errors. Also review the Bank Statement Detail Report,
which shows reconciled and unreconciled statement lines.

13. If any statement lines remained unreconciled, or you need to correct a
reconciled
line, use the Reconcile Bank Statement Lines window to manually reconcile those
lines.
14. Transfer the accounting transactions you created during reconciliation for
Payables
and Receivables to your General Ledger.
