Reconciliation Report

This article provides steps to run and export a Reconciliation Report.

The Reconciliation Report provides a detail for all the batches in Giving, allowing you to compare your records against bank statements. The report is available to Online Giving customers. You can run a reconciliation report to reconcile physical offerings (if you are also a Church Manager customer), as well as ACH, and credit card batches.

Here is a tip as it relates to refunds and the reconciliation report. To view funds on the Reconciliation Report you can run a detailed version for the needed date range. This version gives you a breakdown of all the gifts that day (listed in black) and all the refunds (listed in red). The totals for each batch are a net of the gifts and refunds, but they may not appear that way on your bank statement. ACH deposits, for example, will separate these two items and you will need to view the detailed report to identify the individual amounts. The following steps contain information regarding the full range of the reconciliation report.

 

 

Complete the following steps to run a Reconciliation report:
