Bank Reconciliation Overview The Bank Reconciliation process allows users to reconcile their Skyward cash accounts to
their physical bank statements. Navigate to Financial Management>Accounts Payable>Bank
Reconciliation.
Transition from PaC to Web If you’ve been using Bank Reconciliation in PaC, you will need to complete a Transitional
Bank Reconciliation to start using Bank Reconciliation on the Web. The Transitional Bank
Reconciliation acts as an initial reconciliation for the Web. The Bank Statement Closing Date
will default to the statement date of the last reconciliation completed in PaC. A manual
Adjustment may be required in order to make the variance zero.

Reconciling your Bank Statement The Bank Reconciliation screen is split into two parts:
1. Reconcile Your Bank Statement Balance (top) – This section will contain the Ending
Balance from the statement you are reconciling, outstanding amounts (posted in
Skyward but not represented on the bank statement), and Adjustments.
2. Ending Cash Balance in the system (bottom) – This section contains the Beginning
Cash Balance in Skyward, the total cash activity broken down by source, and the
Month End Balance. Adjustments cannot be made to this area. Any corrections to the
totals in this section must be made via a transaction update in the system (Journal
Entry for example).
3. The statement may be marked as reconciled when the variance equals $0.00.

New Web Functionality Bank Reconciliation on the Web does not require the selection of manual and automatic
sources for reconciliation like PaC did. All sources with activity for the month being
reconciled will display. Sources with no activity for that month will not be displayed making
reconciliation easier.
Amounts for each source are captured at the time the reconciliation for that month was
created. If there are transactions entered into the Skyward system after the reconciliation is
created, the Recalculate Amounts button will need to be used to capture the new
transactions.

Check Reconciliation Overview The purpose of the Check Reconciliation module is to hold and maintain information on
checks produced through the Skyward Accounts Payable system. Navigate to Accounts
Payable > Check Reconciliation.
Not only is check information listed, but the invoices producing the check can be viewed
from here as well.
Statement dates for cleared checks can be entered one at a time, in mass, or can even be
automatically entered by a file received from your bank (Auto Rec from Bank File).
Check Reconciliation can also be used in conjunction with Bank Reconciliation for
streamlining the month end process.

Check Register Overview The Check Register process allows users to create Accounts Payable checks and post them
to the general ledger. Navigate to Accounts Payable > Payment Processing > Check
Register.
Use this screen to create the check register, run reports, print checks and update.

New Web Functionality For security reasons, users are required to enter a password to view their file of checks
created on the web. This is because a PDF could potentially be saved and emailed to other
users. The “other user” would need to enter the password in order to open the file.
Once submitted, the PDF will open allowing you to review the checks before printing.
Users no longer need a Skyward password to clear an existing check register. Simply
navigate to Accounts Payable > Utilities and clear the check register yourself. This option is
security enabled.

Purchase Order Entry Overview The Purchase Order Entry browse allows users to enter a Purchase Order directly into the
system. Access to this area is typically limited because of the ability to create Purchase
Orders without having them go through an established approval process. Navigate to
Financial Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order Entry.
Use the options at the top of the screen to control the records that display in the browse
and the options on the right to do other actions such as add, edit, delete and batch update.

During the Purchase Order add process, the PO Master Information needs to be completed
first. This will hold information such as the PO Group and Fiscal Year, which are used to
generate the PO Number, Vendor, Ship To address, and other important information. When
the Master Information is complete use the buttons on the right to add Detail and/or
Account Distribution.
Enter the PO Detail Lines to identify the actual items being ordered. The Save & Again
button can be used when multiple detail lines are needed. When all detail lines have been
entered, click Save.

Districts Using the Inventory Module
With the February release users will not be able to add or edit a PO used for restocking a
warehouse. Users will still be allowed to enter these as requisitions, but edits will be
required from Pac once they’re in PO status.
