Automated Clearing
In automated clearing, Bank statement details are automatically matched and reconciled with system transactions.
This method is ideally suited for bank accounts that have a high volume of transactions.
The following three are the basic steps are involved in Automated Clearing Process:
1 Map Transaction Codes
Bank statement lines are coded to identify the type of transaction the line represents. Since each bank might use a different set of transaction codes, the first step towards automatic clearing is to map each code that is used by a particular bank for which the transactions need to be reconciled.
2 Matching Criteria
Automated matching can only be done if you can find a common identifier between the transaction details as recorded in your sub ledgers and the bank statement.
Automated systems generally match a bank statement line against a payables payment transaction, receivables receipt transaction, payroll disbursals and miscellaneous transactions using a transaction number (such as the payment or deposit number), bank account, amount, and currency.
3 Reconciliation Tolerance:
Reconciliation tolerances are defined in the system as percentages and/or amounts.
If tolerance is defined then the difference between the statement line and sub-ledger transaction line will be auto-reconciled when it is within the tolerance limit. The system also creates a miscellaneous transaction for the difference between the remittance batch amount and the bank statement line.
