Review Aged Breaks

As trade 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 trade activity on the Query Exceptions Comments report, including the number of days aged and the current status of the break.

To review aged breaks on trade 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 Trade tab to view the aged reconciliation report for trade activity.
