During the client setup procedures in Accountant's Assistant, you can choose whether to enable the CBS checkbook reconciliation features for the client. Client Bookkeeping Solution version 2003.1.0 or higher enables your clients to handle checkbook reconciliation in any of the following ways:
- The user can enter bank statement information directly into the CBS Checkbook Reconciliation window.
- The online banking feature enables clients to connect directly to their financial institutions via internet connection to view and to automatically reconcile checkbook transactions.
- For clients whose financial institutions do not yet support direct online transactions but that do supply file downloads from their websites, CBS version 2003.1.0 or higher also supports the OFX and QFX file formats typically used by financial institutions.
To enable the checkbook reconciliation features for a CBS client: Be sure that the Disable Checkbook Reconciliation checkbox is not marked in the CheckWriter tab of the Setup > Miscellaneous Information dialog in Accountant's Assistant. You also need to include Checkbook Reconciliation among the selected security settings for at least one user within the client's office, and you may also choose to include the Finalize out of balance reconciliation security option.
To print a copy of a special PDF document that can guide your client when using these features in CBS CheckWriter: Search on Checkbook reconciliation from the Index tab of Client Bookkeeping Solution Help Topics dialog and click the topic called Checkbook Reconciliation in Client Bookkeeping Solution (PDF).
