A manual bank reconciliation allows you to match transactions in the general ledger against your bank statement to ensure your Frameworks records align with the bank's records.

> 📝 ## Prerequisites

> 📝 Before creating a manual bank reconciliation, ensure you have:
> 📝 
> 📝 - The physical or digital bank statement you are reconciling.
> 📝 - Access to the General Ledger module.

## Steps

1. From the **Frameworks Menu**, navigate to **General Ledger > Transaction Processing > Bank Reconciliation**.

3. In the **New Bank Statement** window, complete the required fields:
  - **Bank:** From the drop-down menu, select the bank account you are reconciling.
  - **Reconciliation Type:** From the drop-down menu, select **Manual**.
  - **Statement Date:** Select the date of the bank statement.
