Workamajig allows you to reconcile a selected G/L account against your monthly statement. You are able to reconcile any general ledger account in Workamajig. Typically, you would reconcile bank accounts, cash accounts (such as petty cash), and credit card accounts. You should systematically reconcile accounts each period, so you can quickly detect bank errors, match real-world data with Workamajig data, and identify possible mysterious activity.

The reconciling run is saved for each account reconciled. This allows you to print previous reconciliations prior to starting a new one.

NOTE: Transactions cleared in the reconcile and any Other Increase/Decreases amount entered do NOT affect the GL Account being reconciled. This is only used as a checksum for your accounts.

NOTE: Once transactions are "Cleared" via Account Reconciliation, they will be locked from further editing. If an adjustment is needed to a transaction(s), Open the reconcile that contains the transaction and click ...more>OPEN RECONCILIATION. Prior to re-Finalizing the reconcile, confirm that Rec Balances are correct.

Book Balance

This section of the reconcile shows the Book Balance vs the Ledger Balance.

Prior to finalizing the reconcile, these two numbers should match.

Beginning Balance displays the amount from the Beginning Balance field. This should be the same as the Ending Balance from the previous statement.

Cleared Transactions is the total of all selected Increases and Decreases.

Bank Balance is the total of the Beginning Balance and the total of all Cleared Transactions (all increases + all decreases).

Uncleared Transactions is the total of all posted transactions that have not been cleared.

Remaining Opening Transactions is the remaining amount of Uncleared Opening Transactions (Uncleared Opening Amount - total of all Cleared Opening Amounts).

Book Balance is the Bank Balance amount + the Uncleared Transactions (all uncleared Increase transactions and uncleared Decrease transactions). This should match the Ledger Balance
--------------------
Ledger Balance is the Bank’s balance on the Balance Sheet. This should match the Book Balance

NOTE: If there is a difference between the Book vs Ledger balance and are unable to determine the cause, please contact your Workamajig Account Manager via Support@Workamajig.com.
