Manual Reconcilaition

[Mpeter]

Hi All,

I have a quick question on the Manual Reconciliation process:

Is it mandatory that the Unreconciled Items should match with the Balances?

That is:

there are two Open amounts in the report

Amount Explanation G/L Date
100 YYYYYY 31/10/12
3000 ZZZZZ 31/10/12

Total Open Amount : 3100
Balance Per Books : 4000
Book Plus Opne 900

So is it Mandatory that the Total Opne Amount and Balance per books should match? or in which situations we have the above?

Please let me know.

Thanks
