Banking

The Banking menu keeps your book balances honest against the bank's version of events.

Bank accounts

Add each business bank account under Banking → Accounts. Every account links to its own ledger account in the chart of accounts, so its live book balance is always visible.

Importing a statement

Export a statement from your bank as Excel and import it under Imports → Bank. Ledgerly reads the common Indian bank formats — dates, narrations, debit/credit or single-amount columns — and if your bank's layout is unusual, save a mapping template once (Imports → Mapping Templates) and reuse it every month.

Imported transactions appear under Banking → Transactions as unreconciled entries.

Reconciliation

Banking → Reconciliation walks you through matching the statement against your books:

Banking → Reconciliation — pick the account, upload the statement, match and confirm.

1. Select the bank account — the header shows the book balance, the statement's closing balance, and the difference.
2. Import or pick a statement.
3. Review transactions — Ledgerly suggests matches against open invoices, bills and payments.
4. Confirm matches — each confirmed match records the transaction as reconciled and posts the journal if one is needed.

The goal: difference ₹0, and every statement line explained.

Cash book

Banking → Cash Book is the day-book view of cash and bank movement — receipts and payments in date order, with running balances.
