Validation and Posting in Business Central Bank Reconciliation with LearnBC | SOP-FIN-BR-009

Once all bank statement lines have been matched or accounted for, the reconciliation is ready to be finalised. This video covers SOP-FIN-BR-009: Validation and Posting the Reconciliation, the ninth SOP in the Finance Bank Reconciliation series.

This SOP is triggered when the matching process is complete and the reconciliation is ready to be posted. Before beginning, you must ensure that all matchable lines have been matched through the previous SOPs, all bank fees and interest have been posted and matched, and Finance Manager approval has been obtained.

The procedure consists of six steps.

There are two key principles that govern this process. The first is the Zero Before Post rule, which mandates that the Difference field must show exactly 0.00 before posting, as a non-zero difference indicates an unresolved issue. The second principle is to always run the Test Report first to identify any warnings or errors that would prevent a clean post.

The most critical warning for this procedure is to never post the reconciliation if the Difference field is not exactly 0.00. Posting with a difference means the reconciliation is incomplete and will close the period with an incorrect bank balance.

If the difference is not zero, do not post; return to the matching steps to check for missing entries, incorrect manual matches, or an incorrect Statement Ending Balance. If the Test Report shows errors, such as missing posting dates or blocked G/L accounts, resolve all of them before posting. If the Finance Manager is unavailable, do not post without approval; save the reconciliation, notify the manager, and set a reminder for follow-up.

When this SOP is completed successfully, the Bank Account Reconciliation is posted, the Difference field was exactly 0.00 at the time of posting, all matched Bank Account Ledger Entries are marked as Closed, a Bank Account Statement record exists for the period, and the G/L account balance matches the Bank Account Card balance.
