The bank statement reflects payments that are made from an account. After you reconcile the bank statement with the payment orders made, the reconciled payments are posted to ledger accounts. The unposted transactions must be managed separately. Also, any payments that are rejected by the bank must be resubmitted or voided.

A payment journal line can have a Sent, Received, or Approvedstatus.

After reconciliation, the date of the payment document and the date of the transaction might differ.
