Documentation

Definition

The reconciliation account in G/L accounting is the account which is updated parallel to the subledger account for normal postings (for example, invoice or payment).

For special postings (for example, down payment or bill of exchange), this account is replaced by another account (for example, 'down payments received' instead of 'receivables').

The replacement takes place due to the special G/L indicator which you must specify for these types of postings.
