  • Payroll amounts are doubled in Bank Reconciliation. Showing separately as Payroll Checks and Journal entry on Munis side.

Context

Payroll

Bank Reconciliation Manager

Cause

GEN journal is not being excluded from Bank Reconciliation Manager.

Resolution

MUN–367398 is currently open with Development to automatically exclude the GEN journal generated by payroll postings from BRM, when the Payroll Control Setting Assign Journals to Proof is set to Yes.

The current work around is to manually exclude the GEN journal from Bank Reconciliation Manager. See: How to Exclude Transactions in Bank Reconciliation Manager

Additional Information

Classic Bank Reconciliation excludes the GEN journal.
