Overview
§ Cash Management is designed to manage and control cash cycle
§ This allows you to enter bank statements and reconcile the
statement transactions against payments in AP, receipts in AR
§ You use CM to reverse, clear, reconcile receipts, and create misc
transactions for bank transactions not entered in AP or AR
§ Miscellaneous transactions are misc receipts and misc payments
§ Allow Reconciliation Accounting option must be enabled if you
want to use a cash clearing account and create accounting entries
for bank charges, errors, gain/losses

Bank Transaction Codes
Using Auto-Reconciliation to load electronic bank statements CM
requires transaction codes to be defined that are used by the bank
This allows CM to identify the different transaction types on the
statement, such as receipts, and payments. i.e.:
§ Misc Receipt
§ Misc Payment
§ NSF
§ Payment
§ Receipt
§ Rejected
§ Stopped

Automatic Reconciliation
§ The Tolerances region includes a variance amount and a percent
§ The Tolerance Differences - AP field controls whether the Auto-
Reconciliation posts differences to bank charges or errors account
§ The Tolerance Differences - Foreign field controls bank errors or
differences that are caused by exchange rates from foreign
currency transactions
§ There are 3 ways to treat the tolerances:
§ Gain/Loss: which takes the difference as exchange rate gain
or loss;
§ Charges/Errors: which handles differences as bank charges
or a bank errors
§ No Action: in this case no reconciliation will occur and the
statement line will have a status of error
§ Option - automatic document sequence numbers. CM creates the
document number for the statement automatically

Auto-Reconciliation
§ The Auto-Reconciliation program does four validations: bank
statement header, control total, statement line, multi-currency
§ The program requires the imported bank statement header
information has the bank account defined
§ If a currency code is in the header, it must be the same as the
currency code defined for the bank account in AP or AR
§ There is an Auto-Reconciliation execution report, and can be
reviewed for all import validation errors
§ The Auto Reconciliation program fully matches AP AR GL and
MISC transactions against bank statement lines

10. © 2007 Infoblox Inc. All Rights Reserved.9
§ Misc adj. or reversal corrections, the statement line matches the
transaction number, and the amount is within tolerance
§ NSF or rejected transactions, the receipt must be reversed in AR
§ AR/AP Misc Transaction currency is the same as statement line
currency
§ AP payment transactions and stopped transactions, the matching
sequence is the same; matches against the invoice number and
supplier bank account, and the amount is within the tolerance
§ AP for stopped transactions, the payment must first be stopped or
voided
§ Bank statements can also be updated even if they are reconciled
by using the review button

Tolerance Validation
§ Validation is done in two stages, firstly it converts the tolerance
into the bank account currency using the banks exchange rate
§ Second stage uses the tolerance amount to compare the bank
statement line amount with the transaction (functional currency)
§ The tolerances defined are: amount = GBP £70 and percent =10%
§ Run the Auto Reconciliation program, and it encounters a
statement line with an amount of GBP £1,000
§ The program firstly calculates the tolerance percentage amount
(10% of GBP £1,000 = GBP £100)
§ The program selects the smallest of the amounts and the defined
tolerance amount which is GBP £70
§ The program then matches the statement line against a payment or
receipt transaction in the range GBP £930 to GBP £1,070
§ Regardless of bank account and transaction currency, the
tolerance amount in the system parameters is always in the
functional currency

Control Total Validation
Some banks supply statements that have control totals in the
statement or account header for error checking
§ CONTROL_END_BALANCE the statement closing balance
§ CONTROL_TOTAL_DR the payment control total in the statement
header must match the payment amount on the statement lines
§ CONTROL_TOTAL_CR the receipt control total in the statement
header must match the receipt amount on the statement lines
§ CONTROL_DR_LINE_COUNT the number of payment lines in the
statement must match the line control total in the statement header
§ CONTROL_CR_LINE_COUNT the number of receipt lines in the
statement must match the receipt line total in the statement header
§ CONTROL_LINE_COUNT the number of lines in the statement
must match the line total in the statement header

Statement Line Validation
Auto-Reconciliation needs the imported bank statement line to pass
these checks.
§ The currency code on the statement line must be defined in the
system
§ The bank transactions code must be defined
§ The exchange rate type must be valid type defined
§ Incorrect CM setup information can include wrong transaction
codes, currency, or bank account information.
§ The solution is update CM setup information and then run the
Auto-Reconciliation Import program again
§ For bank transmission errors, the solution is to obtain a correct
transmission file from the bank or update the statement using the
Bank Statement Interface window
