Switching from Classic Bank Reconciliation to Bank Reconciliation Manager


Description of Issue

Help setting up the Bank Reconciliation Manager

Context
  • Implementation
  • Bank Reconciliation Manager
  • Classic Bank Reconciliation
Cause

Trying to test Bank Reconciliation Manager and has some questions regarding the set up and settings.

Resolution
  • Switching from Classic Bank Reconciliation to Bank Reconciliation Manager requires Implementation assistance to check the setup, train on properly switching between the two programs, and reconciling using both programs until only Bank manager is being used.
  • Bank Manager and Classic Bank Reconciliation cannot both be used for the same Bank account, Bank code and effective date range. The two programs will not match as they use totally different tables as well as the timing and creation of items is different in both programs. The two programs cannot be reconciled as a side by side comparison. 
  • Please contact your MUNIS Sales Representative to discuss the change.
Additional Information
    • If site will reconcile GCR journal entries in Bank Reconciliation Manager the Bank Reconciliation Setting Multiple deposits per batch must be selected. 
    • If site does and will never post GCR journals for GL Accounts associated with Bank Codes set to Use BAI it is okay to leave the Multiple deposits per batch setting off. 
    • If the site uses Adjustments/Deposits in any manner a specific date must be chosen when Classic Bank Reconciliation will stop being used and Bank Manager will begin being used. Then for a period of time both programs will be required to be used to properly reconcile a Bank code but once everything already displaying in Classic Bank Rec has been cleared going forward only Bank Manager will be needed for reconciling.
