GL Transactions Table Window
In this table window, you clear bank transactions, view data, or change bank acceptance data for the records that are retrieved per the options you selected on the this screen.
Alternately, you can clear (accept) bank transactions in batch mode in the Process Bank Transactions Acceptances screen. When you use the Process Bank Transactions Acceptances screen, you can select one or more ranges of bank transactions for which the code can automatically be changed from outstanding to cleared (or from cleared to outstanding). Even if you change the status of bank transactions in batch mode, you must use this table window to view the individual transactions and to make edits on a row-by-row basis.
You can also use this screen to enter manual bank adjustments that were not previously entered in cash receipts or accounts payable, such as interest income, bank charges, and so on.
Always keep manual adjustment entries to a minimum. You normally record bank interest as a cash receipt and you record bank charges in Accounts Payable. Manual entries are designed to facilitate bank reconciliations only in the rare circumstance in which the normal data entry source has not been used.
If you populated the GL Transactions table window with Cash Receipts, Accounts Payable, and/or Payroll transaction types, you cannot enter or edit the historical transaction data. You can, however, enter or edit the Code ("cleared" or "outstanding"), Date Cleared, and the Bank Amount.
If you populated the
GL Transactions table window with
MAN type (Manual Adjustments), you can edit data in all columns. To add a new manual adjustment, click
.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code |
This column displays whether a bank transaction is CLR (cleared) or OUT (outstanding). You can use the drop-down list to change it. There are no restrictions on changing the code in this field. The following S_STATUS_CDs are used in the VEND_CHK table to integrate the bank reconciliation records and the Accounts Payable records:
When the bank transactions are accepted and the bank reconciliation items are set to CLR, the S_STATUS_CD in the VEND_CHK table is changed to C (Cleared). Bank reconciliation items that have status of V (Void) or S (Stop Payment) cannot be reset to C (Cleared) in the VEND_CHK table. They are cleared in the BANK_TRN_HS table. Clearing a void or stop payment transaction has no effect on the VEND_CHK table. For CR, AP, and/or PR transactions that were not previously edited, OUT automatically displays as the default. If the transaction cleared the bank, enter CLR (or C). To change a cleared code to outstanding, enter OUT. For a new MAN transaction row, there is no automatic default for this column. If the transaction has cleared the bank, enter CLR (or C). If the transaction is still outstanding, enter OUT (or O). For CR, AP, and/or PR transaction types, the following takes place in the GL Transactions table window when you enter or change a code to CLR:
