Abstract:
1. A method of facilitating reconciliation of entries in a computerized accounting system, comprising: comparing a plurality of first entry types with a plurality of second entry types to determine whether a match exists, wherein a set of first entry types of the plurality of first entry types matches a set of second entry types of the plurality of second entry types based upon the comparison, wherein the set of first entry types comprises two or more first entry types; identifying one or more non-matched second entry types of the plurality of second entry types based upon the comparison; for each of the set of one or more first entry types that match the set of second entry types, reconciling matched entry types by determining whether a sum of the set of first entry types is equal to a sum of the set of second entry types, and identifying one or more un-reconciled first entry types of the set of first entry types having a sum that is not equal to the sum of the set of second entry types, wherein sums are determined by summing a value of an attribute of each entry type in a set; determining whether any second entry type of the non-matched second entry types matches the one or more un-reconciled first entry types based upon an additional comparison, wherein the additional comparison includes determining if the amount of the second entry type of the non-matched second entry types is equal to a difference of the sum of the set of first entry types and the sum of the set of second entry types; displaying any non-matched first entry types; generating a link to further information about any non-matched first entry type; and providing a discrepancy acceptance interface that allows a user to accept at least one of the non-matched first entry types being displayed.
