Reconcile a bank or card account

Use Reconcile after transactions are in Reckon to match them against a bank/card statement. The selectable transactions come from Reckon, not simply from uploaded BookFlo drafts. You need Bank Feeds access, the correct company/file and its bank or card account.

1. Open Bank Feed → Reconcile. Select an Account. Check Opening balance (editable; initially supplied from Reckon for a first reconciliation, or carried forward from a previous saved closing balance), enter the statement's Closing balance and choose Statement date. Compare all three with the actual statement.
2. Tick each matching transaction in the list, or use Select all only if every displayed item belongs to this statement. The list shows date, payee/memo, type and signed amount; prior saved reconciliations' selected entries are excluded except while editing that reconciliation.
3. Read Difference: it is closing balance − (opening balance + signed total of selected transactions). For example, opening AUD 1,000.00, selected deposit +AUD 300.00 and cheque −AUD 120.00, and closing AUD 1,180.00 give AUD 0.00 difference. Find missing, extra or wrong-sign entries if Out of balance appears.
4. Select Save reconciliation. Saving records your selection in BookFlo; it does not tick transactions in Reckon. An unpushed history entry can be Edited, changed and Update reconciliation, or Deleted. Cancel edit leaves edit mode. Once a Reckon clearing attempt starts, the history entry locks against editing/deletion here.
5. On a balanced saved row in Reconciliation history, select Clear, review account, date, closing balance and transaction count, then confirm Mark as cleared. This marks those transactions cleared in Reckon Accounts. It cannot be undone from BookFlo.
6. Read the resulting status: Cleared · N, Partly cleared · N left, or Clearing failed. For partial/failed clearing, use Retry clear on that saved reconciliation; already confirmed items are not retried. Review any error before retrying.
7. Open Reckon and select Reconcile Now to finish the reconciliation and advance Reckon's last reconciled date. BookFlo's cleared write-back cannot perform this final Reckon step.

For a statement dated 30-09-2026, do not use Clear merely because you saved it: a non-zero difference disables clearing. Check the actual opening balance and all selected signed transactions first.

If No transactions found for this account appears, verify the chosen file/account and that the relevant transactions exist in Reckon. If the difference persists, compare transaction signs, amounts and the statement date; do not fabricate balancing entries. If clearing partially fails, review the status and retry only unresolved entries. See Import statements, Push safely and Reckon troubleshooting.
