Which reports should be used to reconcile the Accounts Receivable with the General Ledger
Description of Issue
Would like to know which reports to use when reconciling the Accounts Receivable with the General Ledger.Â
Context
- Accounts ReceivableÂ
- General Ledger
- General Billing
- Property Tax BillingÂ
- Community DevelopmentÂ
- Utility Billing
- Detail Receivables by Date (arthrudt)Â
- Detail Receivables Register (arthrudt)Â
- Reconciliation Report (arssrsrl)
Cause
Proper Accounts Receivable reports are needed to reconcile to the General Ledger.Â
Resolution
- The Detail Receivable by Date and Detail Receivable Register reports were designed specifically for reconciliation. Either of these reports can and should be used to reconcile the Accounts Receivable with the General Ledger.
- For more information about these reports and their use, please see: Master Article - Detail Receivables by Date or Register Report
- The Reconciliation Report can be used in conjunction with the Detail Receivable by Date and Detail Receivable Register reports to reconcile. This report provides a second layer of verification and was designed specifically to help find the source or cause of a variance in a specific GL Year/Period.Â
Additional Information
- Other Accounts Receivable Reports, like the Aging Report, should be avoided when reconciling. For more information about why these reports should be avoided, please see:Â Why should the Accounts Receivable Aging Report not be used for Reconciliation
