The Cash/Bank account reflects only the balance that has been reconciled with the transactions of Bank.
The Cash Clearing process enables you to track amounts that have actually cleared your bank versus amounts still floating in the banking system.
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.
Till reconciliation happens the amounts are parked in 'Cash Clearing Account'.
It creates the entries in the bank account only when the payments have cleared the bank AND they have been reconciled as cleared by the bank reconciliation process.
The system does not create cash/bank accounting entries for unreconciled DEPOSITS/payments.
This provides a clear snapshot of lying unreconciled amount in the organization at any point in time.
