This message appears if the calculated running balance does not match the balance in your bank statement. Some transactions may not have been extracted correctly.
Open the Bank Statement Preview and verify the transactions highlighted in red against your original bank statement. Also, check one or two transactions before and after each highlighted entry, as the mismatch may have originated from a nearby transaction.
This note appears when the narration could not be extracted for one or more transactions.
Open the Bank Statement Preview and verify the affected transactions against your original bank statement. If the remaining details are correct, you can proceed with importing the statement.
This note appears when one or more transactions were missed during extraction, usually the first or last transaction.
Open the Bank Statement Preview and check whether all transactions, especially the first and last ones, are present. If any transaction is missing, export the statement to Excel, add the missing transaction, and import the corrected file.
Entries highlighted in red fall into two categories:
- Entries with Exceptions: These are transactions with a missing date, amount, or both.
- Entries to Recheck: These are transactions with a running balance mismatch or other details that require verification.
Before importing the statement, you can assign the correct bank ledger from the Review Bank Statements report by pressing F9 (Set Bank Ledger).

You can correct minor inaccuracies, such as an incorrect date or narration, while creating vouchers from the imported transactions.
- Import the bank statement.
- Open the Bank Reconciliation report and create a voucher against the transaction.
