SKYWARD DOCUMENTATION – PAC-TO-WEB – FEBRUARY 2016 RELEASE Bank Reconciliation Overview The Bank Reconciliation process allows users to reconcile their Skyward accounts to their physical bank statements. Navigate to Financial Management>Accounts Payable>Bank Reconciliation.

Transition from PaC to Web If you’ve been using Bank Reconciliation in PaC, you will need to complete a Transitional Bank Reconciliation to start using Bank Reconciliation on the Web. The Transitional Bank Reconciliation acts as an initial reconciliation for the Web. The Bank Statement Closing Date will default to the statement date of the last reconciliation completed in PaC. A manual Adjustment may be required in order to make the variance zero.

Reconciling your Bank Statement The Bank Reconciliation screen is split into two parts: 1. Reconcile Your Bank Statement Balance (top) – This section will contain the Ending Balance from the statement you are reconciling, outstanding amounts (posted in Skyward but not represented on the bank statement), and Adjustments. 2. Ending Cash Balance in the system (bottom) – This section contains the Beginning Cash Balance in Skyward, the total cash activity broken down by source, and the Month End Balance. Adjustments cannot be made to this area. Any corrections to the totals in this section must be made via a transaction update in the system (Journal Entry for example). 3. The statement may be marked as reconciled when the variance equals $0.00.

New Web Functionality Bank Reconciliation on the Web does not require the selection of manual and automatic sources for reconciliation like PaC did. All sources with activity for the month being reconciled will display. Sources with no activity for that month will not be displayed making reconciliation easier.

Amounts for each source are captured at the time the reconciliation for that month was created. If there are transactions entered into the Skyward system after the reconciliation is created, the Recalculate Amounts button will need to be used to capture the new transactions.

Statement dates for cleared checks can be entered one at a time, in mass, or can even be automatically entered by a file received from your bank (Auto Rec from Bank File).

Check Reconciliation can also be used in conjunction with Bank Reconciliation for streamlining the month end process.

New Web Functionality For security reasons, users are required to enter a password to view their file of checks created on the web. This is because a PDF could potentially be saved and emailed to other users. The “other user” would need to enter the password in order to open the file.

Once submitted, the PDF will open allowing you to review the checks before printing.

Users no longer need a Skyward password to clear an existing check register. Simply navigate to Accounts Payable > Utilities and clear the check register yourself. This option is security enabled.

Use the options at the top of the screen to control the records that display in the browse and the options on the right to do other actions such as add, edit, delete and batch update.
