[CM] Reconciling Cash Management to the General Ledger

Created by Crystal Millington, Modified on Fri, 26 Dec at 2:28 PM by Crystal Millington

Tip: Reconcile CM to GL monthly using the CM Transactions Report, not the CM Account Statement, which may not match the Trial Balance.


Steps to Reconcile

  1. Run CM Transactions Report:

    • Enter the CM Account to reconcile.

    • Set Beginning Month and Ending Month (usually the same).

    • Sort By: T (Transaction).

  2. Run GL Trial Balance Report:

    • Enter Beginning Account for the GL account linked to the CM Account.

    • Set Detail = D, and Beginning/Ending Month same as CM report.

  3. Compare Totals:

    • On the last page, CM total should match GL total debits and credits.

    • It should also match the difference between beginning and ending balances of the account.


Troubleshooting Variances

  1. Check Transaction Sources:

    • Transactions in GL from sources not AP, AR, CM, or PR will not appear in CM. Reverse or repost them to the correct account.

    • Journal entries intended for CM must be recreated in CM using CM Outstanding Entry if posted directly to GL.

  2. Check Sub-Ledgers:

    • Run reports for AP, AR, CM, PR individually to locate discrepancies.

    • Compare transactions line by line to see what was posted only to CM or GL.


Resolving Issues

  • Wrong GL Account: Undo or offset in the module where it was created.

  • Transaction in GL but not CM:

    • Check if the CM interface flag in the module’s company parameters is off.

    • Undo or offset with the flag off, then repost with the flag on.

  • Transaction in CM but not GL:

    • Check if the GL interface flag in CM Company Parameters is off.

    • Delete and recreate the transaction with the flag on, or post a GL Journal Entry to correct balances.
