# Supplier statement reconciliation in MYOB Exo Business

In Exo Business the supplier is a creditor account, and its Transactions tab has everything needed to match a statement: outstanding amounts, period grouping and allocations.

## The steps in MYOB Exo Business

- Open the creditor search, double-click the supplier and go to the **Transactions** tab on Creditor Account Details.
- Tick **Group by Period** to see invoices, credits, payments and adjustments per period with the running balance. Click a period to list its transactions.
- Compare the **Outstanding** column with the supplier's statement. Use **Show only unallocated** to list payments and credits that haven't been matched to an invoice: these are the most common cause of differences.
- Allocate a payment or credit to the right invoice from the **Actions** menu (**Allocate**), or right-click an invoice line for **View Allocation Info**. An allocation made in error can be reversed if your profile allows it.
- Flag lines you're querying with the supplier using **Toggle Query Status**, so they show with a question mark until resolved.

## The reconciliation itself, in any program

- Get the supplier's statement for the period, ideally as a PDF or spreadsheet, and note its closing balance and date.
- Run the supplier's balance in your books as of the same date (the report for your program is below).
- Tick off every invoice, credit note and payment that appears on both. What's left over is the difference to explain.
- Sort the leftovers: invoices on their statement you never entered, payments you sent that they haven't applied yet, credits one side is missing, and duplicates.
- Fix only what's wrong in your books (enter the missing bill, remove a duplicate), and ask the supplier about the rest in writing.
- Note the reconciled balance and date, and keep the statement with your workpaper for the month-end file.

**Free template:** paste your report and the supplier's statement side by side and the differences show up automatically.

## Common reasons the balances don't match in MYOB Exo Business

- Periods are numbered back from the current one (0 is this period, 1 is last), so check you're looking at the statement's period.
- Reversing allocations needs the profile setting that allows it, and isn't available for foreign-currency or deposit transactions.
- Statements from the supplier are usually by invoice date, while Exo ages by period: line them up by date, not age.

FAQ

## Common questions

**Does MYOB Exo Business have a vendor statement reconciliation feature?**

Not as a single matching screen. You reconcile by running the supplier's balance as of the statement date (the steps above) and ticking it against the statement, which the free template speeds up.

**How often should I reconcile supplier statements?**

Monthly for your main suppliers, and any time a supplier sends a reminder or past-due notice. Small suppliers can be checked quarterly.

**What if the supplier's balance is higher than mine?**

Usually an invoice you haven't entered or a payment they haven't applied yet. Ask for copies of the invoices you're missing and proof of where your payment went before you enter anything.
