How do I configure my Books / Books of accounts data before starting reconciliation?

Last updated on Mar 17, 2026

Short Answer: Open the "Configure books data" modal, map the books file columns to reconciliation fields using the right-hand controls, apply any filters if needed, then click the yellow button at the bottom-right to save and proceed.

PreRequisites

  1. A Books / Books of accounts file has been uploaded to the corresponding card.

  2. Statement review and party mapping (if applicable) are completed.

Steps

  1. In the reconciliation flow, open the "Configure books data" modal.
    The left panel shows sample rows from the uploaded books file, while the right panel displays the mapping controls.

  2. Use the right-side dropdowns to map your books file columns to reconciliation fields such as:

    • Ledger

    • Amount

    • Date

    • Party

      Each required reconciliation field is assigned to a source column from your file.

  3. Configure any filters or date ranges available in the right panel (if present).
    Filters or ranges appear applied within the modal interface.

  4. Click the yellow button in the bottom-right corner to save the configuration and continue.
    The configuration is saved and the system proceeds to run reconciliation or move to the results screen.

Troubleshooting

  1. Mapping dropdowns do not show expected column names.

    Likely Cause: The books file does not contain a header row or the headers are not in the first row.

    Action:
    Add a clear header row, ensure it is on the first row of the first sheet, then re-upload the file.

  2. Amounts do not match expected totals after mapping.

    Likely Cause: The wrong column was selected for the amount field, or values are formatted as text.

    Action:
    Reopen "Configure books data", select the correct amount column, and ensure the column is formatted as numeric in the source file.

Note: Pay special attention to Amount and Party/Ledger mappings—incorrect mapping can lead to mismatches during reconciliation.
