Review Aged Breaks

As position, ledger, and lot match results are reviewed and handled by the reconciliation team, comments entered by the team are aged on the database. The age of the comment is the number of consecutive business days the break remains with the same comment. You can review the ages of breaks on positions, lots, and ledger balances on the Query Exceptions Comments report, including the number of days aged and the current status of the break.

To review aged breaks on positions, lots, and ledger balance activity:

1. From the Accounting Center window, select Reconciliation in the left navigation and then click Admin and Aged Report.

2. Double click Query Exceptions Comments.
   You see the Query Exceptions Comments entry panel.

3. Complete the Query Exceptions Comments panel options as required to filter the report results.

4. Click Submit.
   You see the Submit Query dialog box.

5. Click Grid Report.
   You see the multi-tab grid report on your desktop.

6. Click the Position tab to view the aged reconciliation report for lots.

7. Click the Lots tab to view the aged reconciliation report for lots.

8. Click the Ledger tab to view the aged reconciliation report for ledger balances.

You can automatically close/delete comments by selecting the Close Comments option on the Run Assignment Rule dialog box.

Approve Breaks

As a privileged user, you can clear the assigned work from the user's queue by marking break rows as approved. This option is appropriate when your team determines that no suitable record will exist for the unmatched records. The approval process is used primarily for the few out of balance breaks the reconciliation team is otherwise unable to process to completion.

To approve breaks, with the Result Positions, Ledger Exceptions, or Lot Exceptions report results available, select the rows to approve and then right click Approve. The exceptions update to Approved status and the exceptions report refreshes to display the updated information.
