This feature reduces manual operations of clearing bridged transactions by automating the process in advanced bank reconciliation.

Feature details

Bridging posting is a two-step process that is used when payments are posted. It can help ensure a smoother and more timely bank reconciliation process. In the first step, a payment is posted to a bridging account. In the second step, the posted bridging account entry is reversed and posted to the bank main account when the payment transaction clears the bank statement.

Currently, for the second step, cash clerks need to manually process it in the general ledger. This feature automates the second step by clearing the bridged transactions in advanced bank reconciliation.

This feature provides the following capabilities to automate the process:

  • Define bridging posting main account by bank account.
  • Select bank account for bridged payment without generating bank account transactions.
  • Automatic clear bridged transactions during bank reconciliation.
