# Bank reconciliation

> Your books against myDATA, and every bank line matched to its invoice

One page per month that answers two questions: do your books agree with what was reported to myDATA, and is every bank line matched to an invoice or recorded with a reason?

Open **Co-pilot** › **Bank reconciliation**. Pick the month at the top; **← Co-pilot** takes you back.

Bank reconciliation: the books-vs-myDATA check at the top, then the bank account and its lines

## Books against myDATA

The top card compares your books with what was reported to myDATA for the month, area by area — **Sales**, **Purchases** and, where it applies, **Payroll** — with the **Books** and **myDATA** figures side by side.

The headline tells you where you stand: *October: 1 difference to sort out · €7,306.45*, with how many areas match (*1 of 2 areas match*). Each area shows **Matches** or the amount still to sort out. *Not checked* means there's nothing to compare it against yet.

Press **Sort it out** to go to the rows behind the difference.

## The bank account

Below it, one card per bank account (*DEMO Bank · account ending 0400*). If there's more than one, pick it from the list.

The figures on the card:

* **Statement** — the balance on your latest bank statement.
* **Accounted for in TaxLayer** — what the matched and recorded lines add up to.
* **‹n› bank lines to review · €‹amount›** — what's left. Click it to jump to those lines.

When there's nothing left to review, the account reconciles for the month.

**Autopilot** — on, TaxLayer applies its suggested matches and accounts itself; off, they wait for you to confirm.

## The table

Search by description, counterparty or amount. Columns: **Date**, **Description**, **Amount**, **Counterparty**, **Account**, **VAT** and **Matched to**.

Rows are grouped. **Awaiting review** is what needs a decision from you; matched and recorded lines sit below it.

Each row carries a one-line explanation in plain words, for example *A supplier invoice for €186.00 (2 October) is on AADE's records, but you have no copy of it.*

**Matched to** shows two things:

* the **bank** side — the bank line it was paired with, or *No bank line found*;
* the **myDATA** side — a tick and the end of the MARK (*✓ …000441*) if AADE has it.

The **Account** column is the account the line is booked to. TaxLayer suggests it from your chart of accounts; change it on the row if it's wrong.

## One action per row

The button on the right is the one thing to do, named for what it does — for example **Upload the document** when AADE has an invoice you hold no copy of. Firms can tick several rows and act on them together.

Click anywhere else on the row to open its detail: what TaxLayer found, the sources (document, ERP, myDATA, bank) side by side field by field, and **Show me how you compared them**.

## What TaxLayer matches against

Everything you've given it: uploaded documents, myDATA records, and the purchase and sales registers from **Books & ledgers**. Account codes come from your chart of accounts. The matching rules (exact amounts, date windows) are on [Why didn't it match?](https://tax-layer.mintlify.site/reconciliation/why-didnt-it-match.md).

## Export

* **Export for the ERP** — the matched and coded lines as a file your accounting system can import. The arrow next to it picks the format. TaxLayer doesn't post to your ERP from this screen.
* **Export the list** — the table as you see it, as a spreadsheet.
