The Bank Reconciliation tool within Infinity is designed so that you can compare Infinity’s balances to a statement from the bank for your checking account. This ensures that all transactions that are coming from Infinity are contained correctly within your checking account. It can help identify offending transactions that are either posted in the wrong month, posted to the wrong account, or should not exist.

When you have the bank reconciliation ready to be completed, click the Finalize button at the bottom. This will post to accounting and open reports for you to print your “Check Reconciliation Report”.

The button will allow you to flag a range of checks specified by check number. This allows you to quickly clear many checks rather than go through and click the “Cleared” box manually.
