Details
The Banking page is account-specific. Imports, pending rows, confirmed rows, filters, and review actions apply to the selected bank or credit card account. If a saved default account opens automatically, confirm it is the account you meant to review before importing, editing, or confirming rows.
When posted reconciliation history is available, an account card can show the latest statement-ending date. Open the date context to review Reconciliation date, Account, Bank account number, and Type. This is historical account context; it does not mean current pending or categorized rows are reconciled.
Import preview review happens before rows are created in Pending. Spreadsheet imports can use signed amounts, separate Debit and Credit columns, or a positive Amount plus direction columns such as Credit or Debit, Debit/Credit, Dr/Cr, or Type.
Pending rows are preparation work until they are confirmed. Selecting accounts, filtering, importing files, editing GL account/category choices, assigning vendors, creating splits, and matching checks are preparation steps. General ledger posting happens when a pending transaction is confirmed.
Categorized rows have already been confirmed. When Resolve is available, it can remove a journal link, link to a suggested existing GL line, or create and link a new GL transaction when the bank row has enough categorization. Removing a GL link preserves the confirmed bank row and does not erase reconciliation or statement metadata.
Compatible confirmed rows linked to simple two-line journals can keep supported bank and journal fields synchronized during correction. Treat this as a reviewed paired-edit path, not a promise that every row is editable: split activity, source-document postings, or changes to the reconciled settlement account can require reversal or the source workflow. A same-date correction to only the non-cash target account is narrower and does not by itself void reconciliation history when the settlement account and amount remain unchanged.
If Something Looks Wrong
| What You See | What To Check | What To Do Next |
|---|---|---|
| Rows appear under the wrong account | Selected account card and default account | Select the intended account before importing or confirming |
Categorized looks like an edit queue |
Whether the row has already been confirmed | Use confirmed-row review or resolve actions instead of pending classification |
| Import preview looks final | Whether rows have been confirmed from the preview | Review and confirm only the rows you intend to import |
| A rule suggestion appears | Whether it has been confirmed | Review the suggestion before posting the row |
| Bulk actions are blocked | Unapplied Grid Edit changes | Apply or discard grid edits before running bulk actions |
Suggested GL lines appear in Resolve |
Whether they match account, amount, date, memo, and context | Link only reviewed matches |
