- All previous monthly statement bank reconciliations going back to 1
May 2018 have been ignored. Have needed to re-do all of them. Made
much more difficult by the fact that.....:
- On the
Reconciliation page, it's only possible to see 10 line items. No option
to make this bigger, or to step to the next 10. And I can't re-do all
these prior month reconciliations because.....
- Clicking on a bank statement to view transactions from a previous month achieves nothing. All I ever get to see are the 100 most recent transactions. I now can't see anything earlier.
- So I can only do the whole of the last 6 months reconciliation in one fell swoop
What can you do to fix this please?
Urgently...!
Thanks

I did it successfully yesterday.
On the bank reconciliation page you just put the date you want to recobciled and balance as per normal. When it takes you to the next page nothing new should be ticked. At the top select hide transactions beyond statement date. Change page view to 100, click all top of column, then select next page select all etc.
I started at June and the just did Sept Quarter cause I knew it was right.
So much better than the old one I think!
Hope this helps.
Kind regards

However - while I can get to the reconciliation page and see transactions (but only 10 at a time), and I can click to hide transactions after statement closing date, there is no option to change page view to 100 and no option to select all. Simply not there.
It also begs the question why all my previous reconciliations for the last 6 months have now been ignored. (I've got the pdf statements to show they were all properly done).
Also - the new system no longer allows the option to 'clear' a transction directly in the bank statement screen. Was so much easier. Why has that been removed?
I'm using the recommended Chrome browser for ReckonOne (though my preferred browser is Firefox but ReckonOne doesn't work properly in that). So I wonder why I can't see the page view option or the select all option?
Anyone?
Thanks

If you look at the bottom of the screen, right hand side beside where it sits 10 transactions this can be changed to 20, 50 or 100.
At the top if the reconciliation status column, "as long as either everything is ticked or unticked" you will find a tick all box.
This is a true Reconciliation screen and serves a much needed purpose, rather than having the willy nilly tick option like previously. Previously unreconciled transactions from a prior period now remain until reconciled.

I also now see that the tick all box appears if all or none are ticked. This seems strange - would be so much easier if it was there all the time.
I accep that this is a proper reconciliation screen. No problem with that at all. But the tick option was really easy to keep a simple running tote on when payments are received to give an instant check on the balance. Now we have to go into a whole new process to achieve that.
And I still don't understand why all my previous reconciliations for the last 6 months have been removed. Yes - they were all properly reconciled.
I really appreciate your help, just that while this change is probably a step forward in some respects, it is also a step back in others.
Kind regards

Not sure if you have missed it but we now have a Bank Register with Balance, see the tab 'Reckon One Transactions'. So great to finally have a running balance of our R1 Bank Accounts.
Yes, I agree, would be great to see the select all option available regardless of what is or isn't ticked.
I have one Account that is reconciled through to August 2018, and one that was back into May. I am thinking this might have something to do with having unreconciled transactions on the more current bank reconciliations. As this is a new function, I am guessing the old bank reconciliations didn't flow through.
Kind Regards

So it's not possible for there to have been a mismatch in reconciliations, as there is only one.
Frustrating, but I can get over it. Hopefully the problem won't continue going forward.
Thanks for your help

For previous reconciliations to become un-reconciled there unfortunately would have been an error previously. The most common we found were transactions dated outside of the period, and transactions un-reconciled and re-reconciled (ticked / un-ticked) after they were reconciled initially, which changed the reconciliation date in the database. This was very easy to do in the old format, and a major driver for the months of development work completely changing the reconciliation logic.
In the new process, we not only completed user interface changes, we re-wrote the backend logic and this is the likely cause of uncovering discrepancies that previously would have been undetected through no fault of the user.
The entire team behind the project appreciate your patience as the initial reset takes place (a very low % of users were effected in our database review) and we are sure with these changes, and new ones to come, that the reconciliation process will be a much better experience.
nb. we are continuing to work through any teething problems, and will address them as we go.
Kind regards,
Jason

Thanks for your response.
Yes, my reconciliation does not balance. Can you please provide a step by step process of what I should do about that?
Thanks

Will do. We actually reconcile daily so can show a real time match.

I do need to reiterate that this isn't a bug and the new update went through extensive testing. The change effected around 450,000+ reconciliations and only a small percentage of reconciliations were not technically correct.
The main issue we uncovered were users editing a reconciled transaction, which was easier to do in the previous version. The new release allows the flexibility to change everything except the total amount and bank account, whilst still keeping the reconciliation tied to a reconciliation ID, essentially removing the ability to 'break' a reconciliation.
In order to bring all books into the new framework we could only take the technically correct reconciliations, of which were the vast majority. Any transactions that remained cleared but not reconciled after the update were not technically correct, but should reconcile as the issue was the date matching the account balance.
As I said, we are here to help so if you need assistance please contact us and we'll work through it with you. The new process is certainly an improvement and we are keen to get users up an running quickly to take advantage of the changes.
Kind regards,
Jason

Appreciate your feedback on this Shane, we'll ensure we get that sorted and filtered across our Reckon One teams so everyone is on the same page.

I think what you've described might be separate to the discussion on this thread so I'll create your own HERE so we can flesh this out a bit more.
