Business value
In bank statement posting, new transactions usually are bank fees, charges, or interest. When these records are posted to the general ledger after advanced bank reconciliation, the voucher date is taken from the bank import date. That is the statement creation date.
In reality, even customers do bank reconciliation daily. A bank sends a statement for the previous business day, and customers import the bank statement into F&O at least one day after the actual statement line transaction date. This means the bank statement import date in F&O is always different from the bank statement lines booking date. This can create consistency issues.
With this new feature, the actual booking date from bank statement lines can be used as the posting date on the voucher level for new bank transactions recorded into the general ledger. This improves the accuracy of accounting data.
Feature details
With this new feature, vouchers are created for each individual new transaction in bank statement lines. A new parameter is added to allow use of the entry date on bank statement headers as the posting date. Or, you can use the booking date in each bank statement line as the posting date for corresponding vouchers.
