- Improved Bank Reconciliation functionality – with better matching rules to improve the efficiency of this key task.
- Ability to reverse posted payment reconciliation journals – when you correct entries you’ll be able reverse entries that were previously posted, for example if you applied a payment to the wrong customer.
