What do the summary cards (Total bank amount, Total book amount, Matched, Unmatched, Skipped) show?

Last updated on Mar 17, 2026

Short Answer: Each summary card shows totals and counts—including bank totals, book totals, matched totals with counts, unmatched totals by side, and skipped record counts.

Answer

PreRequisites

  1. The reconciliation report is loaded.

  2. The summary cards are visible beneath the action bar.

Steps

  1. Open the reconciliation report and look at the summary cards under the action bar.
    You will see cards such as:
    Total bank amount
    Total book amount
    Matched
    Unmatched – Bank
    Unmatched – Books
    Skipped records

  2. Each card displays:
    • A total amount (e.g., $125,450.75)
    • A transaction count in parentheses (e.g., (48 transactions))
    This helps you understand how many transactions contribute to each total.

  3. Use the cards as a summary overview:
    Total bank amount → Sum of all bank transactions
    Total book amount → Sum of all book transactions
    Matched → Amount and count of successfully matched transactions
    Unmatched – Bank → Transactions present in bank but not matched
    Unmatched – Books → Transactions present in books but not matched
    Skipped records → Count of records ignored due to errors or missing data

  4. Click or switch to the corresponding tabs (Matched, Unmatched, Skipped) to drill down into details behind each card.
    This allows you to verify and investigate the totals.

Troubleshooting

  1. Card totals don’t add up as expected.

    Likely Cause:

    • Some records are skipped due to missing or invalid data.
    • Transactions may be grouped into multi-transaction matches.

    Action:

    • Check the Skipped records section to identify ignored entries.
    • Expand grouped matches in the Matched tab to view individual transactions and subtotals.
    • If needed, correct the source data and run a new reconciliation.

Note: The Matched card may include additional context such as '(X bank transactions matched with Y book transactions)' to explain how the totals were derived.
