Queries Reports The NextGen Budgetary Accounting software contains several query transactions that are designed to assist users with accessing data and researching various accounting related questions. Every query transaction allows the user to enter selection criteria. The query transaction then accesses records in the database and returns a set of results that match the selection criteria entered by the User. The available selection criteria in each query transaction vary depending on the actual query. However, there are four selection criteria that are available in every document query. They are listed as follows: Item Criteria Dollar Criteria Date Criteria General Ledger Criteria Document Related Queries: The software contains four transactions that are characterized as Document Queries. This category of queries is designed around the data elements related to certain documents produced by the accounting system. These transactions are listed as follows: Purchase Order Query Invoice Query PO Prefix Invoice Status PO Type Vendor Number Vendor Invoice Type PO Status Batch Number/Batch Month & Year AP Check Query Bank Code Check Status Reconciliation Status Check Batch Number Document Related Queries w/additional Functionality: The software contains two additional queries that are similar to document queries in terms of how they are generated.

80 VII. Accounts Payable Bank/Check Reconciliation Preface: You must reconcile the bank statement at the end of each month. To do this, you must complete several steps to find out if your computer book balance is in balance with your bank statement. To proceed with this process, read the following section and perform the steps on the checklist below. Remember to enter any journal entries that would affect the Book Balance through the Create Journal Entry transaction located on the General Ledger menu. These could include: Bank Interest, Bank Charges and NSF Checks Reset last month s Reconciliation 1) Click the Check Reconciliation transaction located in the Bank Statement Reconciliation folder on the Accounts Payable menu. 2) Choose the Bank Code of the check from the drop down box. 3) The last month s Bank Statement Ending date should be displayed. 4) Click on the Run Summary Report button 5) The Recon Button should be enabled and the Book and Bank should be in balance. If this is the case, Press the Recon button and Exit this screen by clicking on the Exit

81 button. If the previous month is out of balance, print the Recon report and compare it to the report run at the time of balancing. Changes must have been posted in last month s books since the close of the books and will need to be reversed. Enter This Month s Reconciliation Information 6) Enter the Bank Statement End Balance and Click Save. 7) Place a check mark in the box beside each check that has cleared the bank on the bank statement. When done, Click Save. Shortcuts a. If the majority of your checks have cleared the bank, Click Edit and Select All. This will place a check mark beside all of your checks, and then you can Uncheck the checks that have not yet cleared the bank. b. Using your Arrow Keys and the Spacebar key on the keyboard, Highlight each Check that has been cleared and press the spacebar. This is a quick method of moving down the list. c. Highlight all checks that you want to place a check mark on and Click Edit Select All

82 Add Other Reconcilable Items Never enter an Other Reconcilable Item to force the reconciliation, it could come back to haunt you. 8) Click Add to create an Other Reconcilable item. Enter the following information and Click Save. The Other Reconcilable item will appear in blue and should remain unchecked. After entering all of the other reconcilable items, Click Exit. a. Reference Number This is not a required field, the system will auto assign a number if left blank. This is a 15 character alphanumeric field. b. Transaction Date Enter a date on or before the Bank Statement Ending Date. c. Amount of Item Enter the dollar amount of the other reconcilable item. d. Transaction Choose Disburse if dollars need to be Subtracted from the Bank Statement or Receipt if dollars need to be Added to the Bank Statement. e. Description of Item Enter a brief description of the other reconcilable item. This is a 100 character alphanumeric field

83 Examples of Other Reconcilable Items 1. Deposits in Transit This means a deposit was posted to your books, but was not shown on the bank statement. This problem can arise by the deposit being posted after the cutoff time on the last day of the bank statement period. This amount should be entered as a Receipt to the Bank Statement balance. 2. Bank Errors This means the bank has made a mistake on your account it was not corrected before the bank statement was printed. It can include a check being cleared for the wrong amount, or a deposit incorrectly posted to your account. This amount could be a Receipt or Disburse, so be careful to choose the correct Transaction type. 3. NSF Checks Normally, NSF (returned) checks are posted to your books using Journal Entries. However, if you do not choose to follow this procedure, you must list all NSF checks as Other Reconcilable items. NSF checks should be posted with the Receipt transaction type. 4. Bank Statement Balances This only applies to checking accounts that are setup as cash accounts and have a 0111 function code. If you have a money market account that is setup as an investment account with a 0121 function code, it cannot be reconciled in conjunction with the cash bank code. Do not include the ending balance of investment accounts in this figure. 5. Clear any outstanding Other Reconcilable items from last month s reconciliation. Unlike Cobol, Nextgen does not delete the Other Reconcilable Items each month. If the Other Reconcilable Item no longer applies, simply check if off like a check

84 6. To view the Deposits and Journal Entries, Click Show Deposits and JEs. When finished, Click Close Deposits and JEs. 7. When Finished, Click the Run Summary Report Button. This information will show a Statement and Book Out of Balance Amount.

Print this report and save it for later use. You may also print this report from Reconciliation Report on the Bank Statement Reconciliation menu located in the Accounts Payable folder. Check Reconciliation Balancing Research Techniques If the Accounts Payable Reconciliation report lists an out of balance condition (the adjusted statement ending balance does not equal the ending book balance (the combined ending-balance of cash accounts for this bank code)): A deposit-in-transit may need to be recorded as an Other Reconcilable Item. A Bank error may need to be recorded as an Other Reconcilable Item. A manual check (an offline check) may need to be recorded. A deposit may need to be entered. Interest may need to be posted to the general ledger

86 An NSF check may require journal entries to correct the cash and revenue account balances. A check may need to be cleared. A check may have been cleared in error. A check or deposit may have been posted for an incorrect amount. If so, the error needs correcting in the general ledger. The ending statement balance may be incorrect. A cash account journal entry may have a status of In-process, therefore it is not included in the reconciliation calculation. Use the Create Journal Entry transaction to change the journal entry status to posted. Along with the Journal Entries listing in the Check Reconciliation report, there are several other tools and transactions in Nextgen that will verify cash balances and check information. GL Query, Cash Report, Cash Receipt Journal, General Ledger Report & Month to Date Check Register
