Use the Reconcile tool in Dyn GP 10 to match AP/AR to GL

Did you know that in release 10.0 of Microsoft Dynamics GP there is a new tool for reconciling your Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable to General Ledger?

To find this feature you can go to the Dynamics GP button | Tools | Routines | Financial | Reconcile to GL.  Once there, you can click F1 for some help on how to use the tool.  

During this process you will:

  • Select Individual accounts in GL to reconcile
  • Enter a date range for reconciliation

Then,

  • Transactions are automatically matched
  • Discrepancies are identified
  • Results are displayed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

The process will identify the following:

  • Matched Transactions that exist in both the sub-ledger and GL
  • UnMatched Transactions that exist in either the sub-ledger or GL, but not both.
  • Potentially Matched Transactions, but don’t meet all the matching criteria.
    • Example: A $100 transaction is posted in Receivables, but was deleted in GL. The mistake was caught and a transaction is manually entered into GL for the $100 transaction. The transaction amounts and GL posting date are the same, but they do not share an audit trail code, customer, or document number.

Here is a sample screen shot of the values one might use to reconcile AP and GL:

Once the process button is selected, an excel spreadsheet is generated.
