Account Reconciliation¶
Overview¶
Account reconciliation in MIRA allows you to compare your internal records against an external bank statement (Excel) to ensure your balance is accurate and no transactions are missing.
Accessing Reconciliation¶
You can open the reconciliation tool in two ways:
- Accounts Sidebar: Go to the Accounts section, right-click on the account you want to reconcile, and select ✓ Reconcile.
- Main Menu: Go to Accounts -> Reconcile account.
Reconciliation Workflow¶
1. Load the External Statement¶
- Click Load Excel.
- Select your bank statement file (
.xlsx). - MIRA will extract the transactions and display them in the External Transactions table (left).
2. Review Automatic Matches¶
MIRA automatically suggests matches when it finds a system transaction and an external transaction with: - The exact same amount. - A close date (within a few days).
Suggested matches are highlighted, allowing you to quickly verify them.
3. Manual Matching¶
If a transaction wasn't automatically matched: 1. Select one or more rows from the External Transactions table. 2. Select the corresponding transaction(s) from the System Transactions table (right). 3. Verify that the Matched Difference is zero. 4. Click Conciliar (Reconcile).
4. Handling Differences¶
If the selected amounts do not match, MIRA will show a warning with the calculated difference. You can still proceed if the difference is explained (e.g., small bank fees not yet recorded).
5. Finalizing¶
Once all items are reconciled, the System Transactions will be marked as "reconciled" in the main transactions view, and the account balance should match your bank statement.
Clearing Reconciliation¶
If you made a mistake: 1. Select the reconciled system transactions. 2. Click Quitar conciliacion (Clear reconciliation).
Summary Cards¶
The top of the reconciliation window shows: - External Summary: Opening balance, total income, total expenses, and closing balance from the Excel file. - System Summary: Corresponding totals from your MIRA records for the same period. - Difference: The current gap between your system records and the external statement.
