Banking
The Banking module gives you a centralised place to manage your bank accounts, import and review bank statements, reconcile transactions against your ledger, and forecast your cash position.
Key features
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Bank Dashboard | Shows a summary of all bank accounts for a company code — total balances, number of accounts, and account status at a glance. |
| Bank Statements | Create statements manually, import lines from CSV, or pull transactions automatically via Open Banking. |
| Bank Statement Lines | View and manage individual transactions within a statement. Filter, search, and drill into line details. |
| Bank Reconciliation Overview | See reconciliation progress across all bank accounts — how many lines are reconciled, partially reconciled, or still open. |
| Bank Reconciliation Worklist | Work through unreconciled statement lines one by one. Choose from seven reconciliation methods to match each line. |
| Cash Flow Forecast | A forward-looking view of expected cash inflows (receivables) and outflows (payables) broken into configurable time buckets. |
| Company Bank Accounts | Maintain your bank account master data — IBAN, currency, GL account assignment, and Open Banking connections. |
| Bank Reconciliation Rules | Define rules that automatically categorise and reconcile statement lines based on description, amount, partner, or reference. |
Typical workflow
A standard banking cycle in Ayiza follows these steps:
Import statement ➜ Review lines ➜ Reconcile ➜ Post to ledger
Here is what each step involves:
1. Import or fetch your bank statement
You have three options:
- Manual entry — Create a bank statement header and add lines by hand.
- CSV import — Upload a CSV file with your bank's transaction export. Ayiza maps the columns to statement line fields automatically.
- Open Banking — Connect your bank account via GoCardless and let Ayiza fetch transactions directly. See Bank Statements for details.
2. Review statement lines
Once imported, each statement line shows the booking date, value date, amount, description, and debit/credit indicator. Lines start in an Unreconciled status, ready for you to process.
3. Reconcile transactions
Open the Bank Reconciliation Worklist and work through each unreconciled line. For every line you can choose the appropriate reconciliation method — posting to a GL account, matching to a customer or supplier, recording an interbank transfer, or matching against open invoices.
You can also set up Bank Reconciliation Rules to automate this step. Rules match lines by description, reference, amount, or partner details and apply the correct reconciliation method automatically.
See Bank Reconciliation for a full explanation of each method.
4. Post to the general ledger
When you reconcile a statement line, Ayiza creates the corresponding accounting document and posts it to the general ledger. The statement line status changes to Reconciled, and the bank statement's overall status updates to reflect progress (Partially Reconciled or fully Reconciled).
Navigation
You can find all Banking features in the Banking section of the sidebar. The tiles available to you depend on your assigned permissions.
