Reconciliation

In Zoho Books, you can reconcile an account to ensure that the transactions in your bank account match with the transactions you’ve created in Zoho Books. You can also choose the period for which you would like to reconcile an account. This period can be set for a particular reporting period or at the end of every month.

Warning: The opening balance cannot be edited once the transactions have been reconciled. Kindly ensure that the opening balance is correct before reconciling any transaction.
