Adjusted Cash Balance Issues

By
August 16, 2021

Adjusted cash balance issues happen when the property balance(s) do not agree with transactions posted to the cash bank account. The database runs a check that involves the following process:

  • Property balances (only from properties linked to the current bank account)
  • Less unreconciled deposits
  • Less unreconciled receipts deposited after the reconciliation period
  • Plus unreconciled checks
  • Plus unreconciled eCheck or ACH batches and reversals
  • Plus unreconciled eCheck or ACH batches generated after the reconciliation period
  • Plus uncleared checks voided after the reconciliation period

The above screenshot shows the Adjusted Cash Balance number in the third column and it is under by $176.50. A Reconciliation Summary should have an Ending Balance, Cleared Balance, and Adjusted Cash Balance that match. This is a three-way reconciliation and commonly known as Triple Tied Out.
