Creating a Manual Reconciliation
Manual reconciliations are an additional option for situations where:
An account isn’t automatically matched to a statement, or
You’re setting up historical periods for the first time.
Accounts that don't have a statement - like Payroll Liabilities
The reconciling account is not a bank account or credit card — for example, asset or liability categories like loans or equipment financing.
Before You Start

Status icons show which transactions are complete and which need review.
Bulk Editing Transactions
Select the checkboxes next to the transactions you want to update — a bulk actions bar appears.
Choose your changes. You can combine several in one pass:
Party — assign or correct the vendor/customer
Category — recategorize everything selected
Department or Location — tag the selected transactions with a dimension
Status — mark as Reconciled or Unsettled
Comment — post one comment to all selected transactions
Delete — remove the selected transactions
Click Apply — the button shows how many transactions you're updating (e.g., Apply 12). Nothing changes until you click it, and Cancel discards your pending edits.
As you select, a running total of the selected amounts is shown — useful for confirming a reconciliation balances before you make changes.
Finalize, Reconfigure, or Delete
In the top right corner, you have the following options:
Finalize
When all transactions are matched and the balance is correct.
Locks the period to prevent accidental edits.
Reconfigure
If you need to change a draft reconciliation.
Reopens the setup screen to adjust the ending date, ending balance, or deposits/withdrawals. Note: You can’t change the date if it overlaps with another reconciliation for the same category.
Delete
If the reconciliation was started by mistake or needs to be redone.
Removes the reconciliation completely so you can start fresh.
After you finalize all accounts for the month, close the month to lock changes → Closing & Reopening Periods
