TRAVERSE Global v11.1
Post Transactions
When you post transactions, these things happen in the Bank Reconciliation system:
- The transactions in the BR Journal are moved to the BR Master.
- If Bank Reconciliation does not interface with General Ledger, the general ledger account balance stored in the Bank Currency Balance field on the Balance tab is updated.
- If Bank Reconciliation interfaces with General Ledger, entries are created in the GL Journal for the bank account entries and offsetting entries that you entered for deposit, disbursement, adjustment, transfer, and void check transactions. If the accounting period is closed, you can either edit the transactions or use the System Manager Period Conversion function to open the accounting period and then post the transactions.
Deposits
When you post deposits, entries are made to these accounts:
| Account | Entry |
| Bank Account | Debit |
| Offsetting Account | Credit |
| Additional Offsetting Accounts | Debit/Credit |
The bank account's GL account comes from the bank account record. You specified the offsetting GL accounts when you entered deposits. If the deposit was offset by only one account, the offsetting account is credited. If the deposit was offset by several accounts, there might be a combination of debit and credit entries to offsetting accounts.
If you entered a reversing deposit (you entered a negative amount in the deposit transaction), the bank account is credited and the offsetting account is debited. If the deposit was offset by more than one account, there might be a combination of debit and credit entries to the offsetting accounts.
Disbursements
When you post disbursements, entries are made to these accounts:
| Account | Entry |
| Bank Account | Credit |

If you entered a reversing disbursement (you entered a negative amount in the disbursement transaction), the bank account is debited and the offsetting account is credited.
