Cash Clearing Process

This provides a clear snapshot of lying unreconciled amount in the organization at any point in time.
The Cash/Bank account reflects only the balance that has been reconciled with the transactions of Bank.

The Cash Clearing process creates accounting entries to record the actual settlement in your cash/bank account in general ledger only when you clear the payment transactions in the system during the reconciliation process.

This provides a clear snapshot of lying unreconciled amount in the organization at any point in time.
