Bank reconciliation in BYTE: match the statement to the ledger
Import a bank statement, match its lines to the ledger, and carry the items still open into the next period. The period bridge shows the book balance, the bank balance and the difference between them.
Last updated: 2 November 2026
What it covers
- Statement import from CSV files, with the columns mapped once for each bank.
- Matching statement lines to ledger entries, and marking them cleared.
- Adjustments for bank fees and other lines, with a completeness check.
- Outstanding checks and deposits in transit carried into the next period.
- A period bridge between the book balance and the bank balance, with the difference shown.
- Several bank accounts, each reconciled in its own ledger account.
How it works
- Import the month's statement from a CSV file, and map its columns.
- Match each statement line to the ledger. Record a fee or other item as an adjustment.
- Carry open checks and deposits in transit into the next period.
- Check the period bridge: the book balance, the bank balance and the difference.
