Balancing the bank statement with CR Check Center

After receiving your monthly bank statement, you must balance your records to the ending balance on the statement. Run the CR Trial Balance Report to verify that the bank is in balance before inactivating transactions with the CR Entry Balance Bank Accounts Report. If your bank accounts are not in balance before you run the CR Entry Balance Bank Accounts Report, you must enter manual adjustments in CR Check Center Entry.
