About Account Reconciliation Attributes

Attributes are defined centrally by Service Administrators and can be used in multiple places in Account Reconciliation.

Attributes are user-defined fields and can be:

• custom attributes (see About Custom Attributes)
• group attributes (see About Group Attributes in Reconciliation Compliance)
• calculated attributes (see About Calculated Attributes)

Additionally, Account Reconciliation also provides some system-defined attributes, which are not editable.

Attributes can be used in these places:

• Profiles

  Administrators and power users can assign attributes to profiles to capture information that is not supported by the standard attributes.

• Formats

  Administrators can assign attributes to formats to appear on reconciliations in two places.

  • In the reconciliation summary section, to capture reconciliation-level information from the preparer or reviewer (Format Attributes)

  • In transactions associated with the reconciliation, including adjustments and balance explanations; values for these attributes are provided by the preparer and are intended to ensure that the reconciliation contains sufficient information to justify the balance (Transaction Attributes).
