DocuClipper reconciles the statements ensuring that no transactions are missing and that they have the right amounts. This is how reconciliation works:
- DocuClipper reads the start and end balance from the statement.
2. Next, DocuClipper adds up all the credits and debits in the statement.
3. If “end balance” – “start balance” is equal to “credits” – “debits” then the statement is reconciled and DocuClipper displays a blue badge:
What does it mean when the job is “not reconciled”? #
Sometimes DocuClipper isn’t able to reconcile the statement. When this happens you’ll see a red badge:
Here are a couple of reasons that can prevent DocuClipper from reconciling the statement:
- The start or end balances have been detected incorrectly.
- DocuClipper wasn’t able to read the start or end balances.
- Balances are correct but there are missing or wrong transactions.
- DocuClipper can’t reconcile this statement type yet. E.g. different language, non-supported bank statements
- DocuClipper is experiencing issues when interpreting multi-account statements.
- Debit/Credit has been swapped.
- Your statement contains multiple periods, and DocuClipper has consolidated them into a single period.
