Reference Type

Enter a reference type to identify the source of the transaction.

For automated bank reconciliation records, this field displays one of these entries, depending on the type of transaction you are tracking:

  • A/P: posted from A/P check printing
  • A/R: posted from A/R check, adjustment, wire, or draft posting
  • P/R: posted from Payroll check printing
  • MAN CHK or MAN CHQ: manual check posted from A/P or Payroll
  • BAL: created during compression of a bank reconciliation

You may also select from the following reference types in the drop-down list:

  • A/R Wire Deposit for a wire transfer deposit.
  • CASH PMT, WIRE PMT, or EFT PMT for these types of payments.
  • Ref Num, which leaves the field blank and allows you to enter a reference number.

For a transaction type of Other, you can enter any code. For example, you may want to enter INT for interest or FEE for bank fees. The field displays MISC as the default for Other transactions.
