Bank reconciliation matches bank-statement lines against your accounting entries, so the bank balance in your books matches reality.
Path: Accounting → Dashboard → Bank card
- From the Accounting Dashboard open the bank journal card and click Import / Upload Statement.
- Upload the statement in CSV / OFX / QIF / CAMT, or enter the lines manually.
- Confirm the Ending Balance matches the real statement.
- Click Reconcile; Odoo proposes a matching entry for each bank line automatically.
- If the proposal is correct click Match/Validate; otherwise search manually for the invoice or payment.
- For lines with no counter-entry (bank fees, interest) use Create and pick the right expense account.
- Watch the outstanding / unreconciled items: uncashed cheques or payments in transit to reconcile later.
- After matching everything, confirm the Odoo bank balance equals the statement balance.
