<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere are various functions within the bank account management menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Account Transactions show all transactions within the bank account, whether reconciled or not. The search button allows you to search for any transaction using various fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also access the Account Transactions from the reconcile screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bank Statements are fed in when you link up the bank feeds. The statement lines come through on each import and occur overnight on each business day. You match statement lines with Account Transaction lines during the bank reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spend money<\/strong> is for creating a transaction where you are spending money \u2013 generally Spend money transactions are coded from the bank reconciliation screen under Create Transaction<\/em>. However, if you want to create a transaction before the bank feed and subsequent reconciliation occurs, you can create a spend money transaction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is only for those transactions outside of job costs, supplier and overhead invoices. For example<\/p>\n\n\n\n Receive money <\/strong>is for creating a transaction where you are receiving money \u2013 generally Receive money transactions are coded from the bank reconciliation screen under the create tab. However, if you want to create a transaction before the bank feed and subsequent reconciliation occurs, you can create a receive money transaction. This is only for those transactions not<\/strong> attached to an existing progress or variation claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Example<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transfer money<\/strong> is for creating a transaction where you are transferring money between Xero-recognized bank accounts \u2013 generally transfer money transactions are coded from the bank reconciliation screen. However, if you want to create a transaction before the bank feed and subsequent reconciliation occurs, you can create a transfer money transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A bank reconciliation is a task that indicates the true balance of your bank account and identifies any transactions that are causing a difference between your bank account balance and the balance in your transaction listings and subsequent balance. A bank reconciliation ensures all transactions have been accounted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where all of the bank reconciliation is done. The bank statement lines feed in on the left hand side and the transaction to either match, create, transfer or discuss are on the right side. Matches, suggestions and rules are all actioned in this area.
