Bank Rec – Supplier Payment via ABA not appearing in Match (Find)

Hi Fabulous_WM​,

In AccountRight desktop, when you pay suppliers via EFT/ABA, the software creates one combined “Electronic Payment” for the total of the ABA batch against your bank account, and the individual supplier payments sit in the electronic clearing account. That means on the Bank Reconciliation screen you’ll only be able to match the single electronic payment batch, not each supplier payment line by line. If the transaction you’re expecting isn’t appearing when you click Find, it’s usually one of these:

• The electronic payment has already been reconciled in a previous bank rec, so there’s nothing left for MYOB to match to this statement line.
• The wrong bank account is selected at the top of the Bank Reconciliation window.
• The date or amount on the bank statement doesn’t line up with the electronic payment’s date/amount in AccountRight (or it’s outside the statement date you’re reconciling to).
• The payment wasn’t actually processed via Process Electronic Payments (for example it was recorded as a straight Spend Money or Pay Bills directly from the bank account), so you might be looking for the wrong type of transaction.

A quick way to track it down is:

1. Go to Banking > Find Transactions > Card and search by the supplier and approximate date.
2. Open the payment and check how it was recorded (Pay Bills / Spend Money / Electronic Payment) and which bank account it was paid from.
3. Then go back to Banking > Reconcile Accounts, choose that same bank account, and look for the electronic payment batch (one line for the ABA total) to match to your bank statement.
