🔄 Reconcile

Reconciling ties each imported bank line to the matching entry in your ledger, so you can be confident the two agree. The progress bar at the top shows how far through you are.

Auto-match

Click ⚡ Auto-match to let Pavilion link every bank line that has a single confident match. A line matches a ledger entry when the amount is equal, the direction agrees (money in → income, money out → expense), the entry is still unreconciled, and the dates are close together. How close is the match window, which you can change in Settings → Accounting (default 5 days).

Working a line by hand

Each remaining bank line is shown as a card:

• Confirm match — if a suggestion is shown, accept it. The ledger entry is marked reconciled and the bank line turns green.
• Create entry — no ledger entry exists yet? Pick a category and create one straight from the bank line (handy for bank charges, interest, or anything you forgot to record). The new entry is created already reconciled.
• Ignore — set a line aside (e.g. a transfer between your own accounts) so it stops appearing in the worklist.

Lines with no match

A ledger entry with no matching bank line (for example a cheque that has not cleared) simply stays unreconciled — that is normal. It will match once the money appears on a future statement you import.

Common questions

What does the match window do?

It is how many days apart a bank line and a ledger entry can be and still be treated as the same transaction. Set it in Settings → Accounting. A larger window matches more loosely; a smaller one is stricter.

I matched the wrong line — can I undo it?

Yes. Deleting the statement on the Banking tab un-reconciles its entries, or you can toggle an entry back to unreconciled from the Ledger.

Why is one ledger entry never matching?

Either the amount or direction differs from the bank line, or the dates are further apart than your match window. Check the amount and widen the window if needed.
