FINANCE PROCESS ยท VALIDATE
Reconciliation proves that supporting records agree with the general ledger.
Teams compare customer, supplier, asset, inventory, bank, intercompany, and GR/IR balances to their operational detail and investigate differences.
How SAP controls it
Reconciliation accounts integrate subledgers automatically. Account ownership, tolerances, matching rules, and close task governance define how exceptions are handled.
Example
The supplier subledger total agrees to its reconciliation account, while an old GR/IR item is assigned to Purchasing for resolution.
