Setting up G/L Open Entries

The G/L Open Entries functionality brings capabilities from Continia Finance into Continia Banking, allowing you to reconcile open general ledger entries either manually or automatically during the import process.

The overall process works in the same way as when reconciling vendor and customer transactions: entries can be matched automatically based on available information, or you can perform the matching manually if needed. This feature is available for both statement types: the Payment Reconciliation Journal and the Bank Account Reconciliation.

For more details on the general matching process, see Working with payment application proposals or Working in the Payment Reconciliation Journal.

For a general introduction and the requirements, refer to the Introducing G/L Open Entries article.

To set up G/L Open Entries

When the G/L Open Entries module is enabled, the Banking Import Setup page in Continia Banking displays an additional Continia Finance section. This section contains options that control how open general ledger (G/L) entries are matched during the bank import process.

To configure:

1. Open the Banking Import Setup page.
2. Enable or disable the following settings:
   • Match G/L Open Entries - turn on to enable matching of open G/L entries.
   • End To End ID - turn on to allow matching of open G/L entries by the end to end ID field.
   • Payment Information ID - turn on to allow matching of G/L entries by the payment information ID field.
   • Payment Batch ID - turn on to allow matching of G/L entries by the payment batch ID field.
   • Document No. - turn on to allow matching of G/L entries by the document no. field.
   • External Document No. - turn on to allow matching of G/L entries by the external document no. field.

To match manually

If Continia Finance is enabled in Continia Banking and on the Banking Import Setup page, in the Continia Finance section, you have enabled Match G/L Open Entries, you can view and match G/L open entries directly on the reconciliation pages. G/L open entries are displayed in the same way as other open entries, such as customer or vendor entries.

To match G/L open entries manually:

1. Open your reconciliation journal in the Payment Reconciliation Journal or a bank reconciliation on the Bank Account Reconciliation page.
2. If you have Continia Finance activated, a notification message appears that tells you that you can use something in your matching from Continia Finance. Click Enable.
3. On the action bar, click Apply Ledger Entries to view G/L open entries.
4. Now you can apply or unapply full or partial amounts just like with customer/vendor entries. For more information, refer to the Payment Reconciliation Journal or Bank Account Reconciliation articles.

To match automatically

The system uses Unique IDs, Document No., and External Document No. (depending on setup) to propose matches, just like for other ledger entry types. You can enable the matching method on the Banking Import Setup. If the entry amount matches the statement amount, the proposal is automatically applied.

To match G/L open entries automatically:

1. Open your reconciliation journal in the Payment Reconciliation Journal or a bank reconciliation on the Bank Account Reconciliation page.
2. If Continia Finance is activated, a notification message appears that tells you that you can use something in your matching from Continia Finance. Click Enable. When Payment Application Proposals are created, the Found By field indicates how the entry was matched.

To show G/L Open Entries on the Payment Application Review page

When Continia Finance G/L Open Entries are enabled, the Payment Application Review page includes an action to view related G/L open entries. The Ledger Entries action now supports G/L open entries, with filtering applied for Account Type and Account No. so that only relevant ledger entries are shown.

To view G/L open entries:

1. Open the Payment Application Review page and invoke the Ledger Entries action.
2. On the action bar, choose Show > Show G/L Open Entries.

To show G/L Open Entries on the Apply Ledger Entries Page

The Apply Ledger Entries page also supports G/L Open Entries when the feature is enabled. A new action lets you view the related general ledger entries, filtered by Account Type and Account No.

To view G/L open entries:

1. Open the Apply Ledger Entries page.
2. On the action bar, click Home > Show G/L Open Entries.
