To approve your bank feed, you need to bring your bank transactions into AccountRight and approve the automatic matches. For any transactions that remain unmatched, you can either find a transaction you’ve previously entered in AccountRight, or create a new transaction in AccountRight.

 

To approve a bank feed
  1. Go to the Banking command centre and click Bank Feeds. The Bank Feeds window appears.

  2. In the Account field, select the account you want to receive feeds from.
  3. Click Get Bank Transactions. The Bank Statement column will refresh and display any new bank transactions that have occurred since your last update. Note that bank feeds are updated for all accounts. Any bank feed transaction that exactly matches a transaction already entered into AccountRight, or any transaction that has a transaction rule applied to it will be automatically matched.

    To approve matched transactions
  4. Review the matched transactions.
    • If a transaction is matched correctly, click Approve. If all the matched transactions are correct, save time by clicking Approve All.
    • If a transaction has been matched incorrectly, you can undo the match. Click the unmatch icon ( ). This undoes the match and the AccountRight transaction disappears from the right side of the Bank Feeds window.

      Undoing a match does not delete the AccountRight transaction. You will also need to find another AccountRight transaction, or create a new transaction to match the bank feed transaction. 


    To approve unmatched transactions

  5. If you’ve already entered the transaction into AccountRight:

    1. In the Bank Feeds window, select an unmatched bank feed transaction and click Find. The Find a Matching Transaction window appears.

      If the transaction you want doesn’t appear in this window, change the amount and date ranges and click Update to filter your search. Note that only unreconciled transactions appear.

    2. Select a transaction. If the amount of the transaction does not exactly match the bank feed transaction amount, you’ll need to edit it. You can do this by clicking the zoom arrow next to it.

    3. Click Match & approve. The Bank Feeds window reappears with the AccountRight transaction matched and approved to the bank feed transaction.

  6. If you haven’t entered the transaction into AccountRight:

    1. In the Bank Feeds window, select an unmatched bank feed transaction, click New and select the type of transaction you want to create. The relevant transaction window appears.

    2. Complete the transaction. As the aim is to create a matching transaction, some fields, such as Amount, Date and Memo, automatically contain information from the bank feed transaction and greyed-out fields, such as Pay from Account, cannot be edited.
    3. Click Record. The transaction is recorded and the Bank Feeds window reappears with the AccountRight transaction matched and approved to the bank feed transaction.

 

  FAQs


How do I match a lump sum deposit to individual payments?

If you receive multiple payments and then make a lump sum deposit, use the Prepare Bank Deposit feature to group receipts into a single deposit. This will then match what's shown in the bank feed.

I've approved all bank feed transactions - do I still need to reconcile the account?

Yes. Approving bank feed transactions is quick way to match transactions on your bank statement to transactions in AccountRight. You'll still need to reconcile the account after approving the matches, but using bank feeds will make the reconciliation process much quicker and simpler.

When you've approved a match in a bank feed, the transaction will automatically be selected when you reconcile your bank accounts.

What can I do about bank feed transactions I don't want to match?

If you don't want to match a bank feed transaction, you can hide it by right-clicking the transaction and choosing Hide Transaction.

You can view hidden transactions by selecting Hidden in the Display Transactions field and specifying the applicable date range.

You can unhide a hidden transaction by clicking Unhide. Now when you select Current from the Display Transactions field, the hidden transaction reappears in the Bank Feeds window with the rest of your transactions.

Why can't I click into an unapproved transaction?

If a transaction isn't automatically approved but is showing Rule Applied, it means the transaction matches a rule you've created, but there isn't a matching transaction in your company file.

However, clicking Approve will automatically create the transaction in your company file. If you undo the approval, you'll notice Rule Applied no longer displays. Instead, AccountRight now matches the bank feed with the transaction which was created when you initially clicked Approve.

You can then click into this transaction, or click Approve to approve the match.
