Since Eclipse payments appear only as electronic reports in the software, we thought it might be useful to have a method of recording when these payments have actually appeared in the designated bank account. This is an optional process.
Click the <Reconcile payments> link on the Eclipse Menu to open the following screen.
By default all payments which have the payment type 'Online' will be shown. Other payment types may be selected from the 'Type Filter' list. Payments not reconciled will be shown, although both reconciled and unreconciled payments may be selected using the radio buttons. To reconcile a payment that has appeared on a bank statement, simply tick the 'Reconciled' checkbox. You may edit the banking date if this is different to that shown on the statement. (Editing this date will change the date in all components of a batch payment.) Date criteria may optionally be specified for both the PayRunDate and the banking date. (The PayRunDate is stored in the Date Received field.)
Once a payment has been reconciled, it will no longer appear in the list of unreconciled payments. Reconciled payments are not lost in the system; they can be viewed again by selecting the 'Not reconciled' radio button.
While this reconciliation system is intended specifically for online payments, any payment type may be reconciled.
