Reconcile Bank Accounts

At regular intervals, you must reconcile your bank accounts in Microsoft Dynamics NAV by matching bank ledger entries resulting from the posted payments with the related transactions on your electronic bank site and then post the balance to your bank account. For this purpose, the Bank Acc. Reconciliation window is divided in two panes, the leftmost pane that contains bank statement lines and a rightmost pane that contains the bank ledger entries. You can use either an automatic or a manual matching function to match lines in the two panes.

You use a bank file import function to quickly populate the leftmost pane in the Bank Acc. Reconciliation window.

Note

Bank statements in the SEPA CAMT format are supported out-of-the-box. Use the Date Exchange Framework to enable other bank or payroll file formats. For more information, see How to: Enable Import/Export of Bank or Payroll Files Using the Data Exchange Framework.
