> 📝 ## Prerequisites

> 📝 
> 📝 - Created the bank statement reconciliation record (see [Create a Manual Bank Reconciliation](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CO/pages/400490517)).
> 📝 - The physical or digital bank statement from your bank.

4. On the **Unreconciled** tab, review each line of your bank statement against the general ledger transactions listed and enable the **Sel** checkbox for each matching transaction.
5. Click **Match** to move the selected transactions to the **Reconciled** tab.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 until all matching transactions are reconciled.
7. Click **Reconcile** to complete the bank statement reconciliation.

> ℹ️ **Note:** To unmatch a transaction, go to the **Reconciled** tab, enable the **Sel** checkbox for the transaction, and click **Un-Match** to return it to the **Unreconciled** tab.

> ⚠️ **Important:** Marking a statement as **Reconciled **cannot be reversed.

## Process GL Adjustments (Optional)

If your bank statement contains entries with no corresponding general ledger transaction in Frameworks, you can create adjustments during the reconciliation process:

- **New Journal:** Click **New Journal** to create a journal entry that balances the statement transaction. Use the **Accrual** option if the transaction will be entered in the following month. See [https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CO/pages/401801224](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CO/pages/401801224) for details.
- **New Payment:** Click **New Payment** to manually enter and process customer payments. See [https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CO/pages/30510956](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CO/pages/30510956)  for details.

## Result

The bank statement is marked as reconciled. All matched transactions are recorded in the **Reconciled** tab, and your general ledger balance aligns with the bank statement closing balance.
