Field explanations

Appendices

If an account or an account group has an appendix linked to it, the paper clip icon in this column will be blue, otherwise it will be grey. When you click on a grey paper clip icon you are able to go directly to the main appendix for that account or account group, or add an appendix.

To add an appendix, click on the paper clip icon, select Add appendix and choose which appendix you want to add.

When you have selected an appendix and click on Add you are redirected to the view Appendices and can continue to work with the appendix as usual. If you add an appendix to an account, that account will automatically be added to the appendix that is created. No account will be added if you add an appendix to an account group.

When you click on a blue paper clip icon, a list of all the appendices linked to that account is shown, as well as the link to the main appendix.

Auto checks

This column shows the result of the automated checks that have been run.

A red icon indicates that the check has found something. When you click on the icon you will get more detailed information.

An orange icon indicates that the check could not run. An example of this is that the check is supposed to compare previous periods, but there are no previous periods imported into Period & Year.

A green icon indicates that a check has been run, but nothing was found.

Divergent check results can be marked as done using the button Mark check as done. When you mark a check result as done, the icon changes its appearance and becomes grey with a green check mark in the lower right corner.

You only need to mark a check result as done once, which means that if you mark a check result for an account in the reconciliation BS as done, the same check check result will also be marked as done in Transaction analysis.

If a check result no longer is up to date due to a subsequent change, it will lose its status as done and the icon changes its appearance to indicate that the result needs to be updated.

Checklist status

This column indicates the status of the task list for that account.

A grey icon indicates that no tasks have been marked as done, a blue icon indicates that some tasks have been marked as done, and a green icon indicates that all tasks are marked as done. The icon is also a short cut to the tab Checklist. Hover over the icon to see how many tasks are completed.

Done

When you have finished reconciling an account you mark it as Done. If you mark an account group as done, all accounts belonging to that account will be marked as done.

Quality assurance

The functionality for internal quality assurance, available in the QA column, provides support when documenting the quality assurance done at your accounting office.

After reviewing the work done on an account or account group, the person who is the quality assurer can log in and go to the column QA in the right and click on the icon to change the status of the account or account group. There are two choices available: Approved and Not approved. To revert the status of an account or account group, select Reset status.

When you select Approved for an account or account group, its status icon in the QA column turns green. Hover over the icon to display the date and the time for the approval, along with the quality reviewer’s name. If the quality reviewer has been deleted from the accounting office, they will be displayed as Unknown user.

When you select Not approved for an account or account group, the status icon in the QA column turns orange and you will be able to add a comment. Hover over the icon to display the date and the time for when the status was set, along with the quality reviewer’s name. If a comment was entered, this will be displayed in the side panel.

When you select Reset status, the status icon in the QA column turns grey and returns to its original value.
