Using the Statements Screen

This screen is displayed by clicking Statements in the EasyBooks Sidebar. The screen shows a list of all the accounts that can have statements with the most recent statement for each. From this screen, you can:

    • Create bank or credit-card statements to reconcile transactions in EasyBooks with those that appear in statements sent from your bank or credit-card company.

Reconciling transactions allows you to see if there are any missing or erroneous transactions that need to be corrected, which is an important feature of double-entry bookkeeping. To perform a reconciliation, you need to create a statement in EasyBooks for each statement you receive from your bank or credit-card company. Full details of how to carry out a reconciliation are given in How to....

Note: It is recommended that you perform a reconciliation before filing a VAT return or performing a Profit and Loss consolidation.

  • Create customer statements to remind your customers of the amounts that have been invoiced, credited and paid, and the total amount outstanding.

  • Create supplier statements (for any internal documentation requirements you may have).

What happens when I add transactions to a statement?

When you move a transaction to a statement, EasyBooks greys out the transaction in other screens such as in the Accounts, Salesand Purchases screens to indicate that you are not able to change key information such as the transaction type and amount.
