Bank Reconciliation Skill
This skill automates the process of matching bank statement records with general ledger entries.
Workflow
- Input Verification: Identify the paths to
bank_data.xlsx and gl_data.xlsx.
- Threshold Configuration: Ask the user for a reconciliation threshold (e.g., "Allow matches within $1.00?"). Default is $0.00.
- Execution: Run the
scripts/recon_logic.py script to process the files.
- Reporting: Provide the resulting
recon_results.xlsx file which details:
- Matched records from both sides.
- Match basis (Amount, Description, or both).
- Variances within the threshold.
Tool Usage
Run the reconciliation script using Python:
python3 scripts/recon_logic.py <bank_xlsx> <gl_xlsx> <output_xlsx> <threshold>
Description Matching Logic
The skill uses semantic matching to identify common vendor names, invoice IDs, or transaction references between the bank description and GL memo.
