What's a variance amount?

A variance amount is a line in the Receivables to General Ledger Reconciliation Report that displays the total amount of variance between transactional and accounted amounts.

Variance amounts are due to some type of data corruption. There are two types of variance amounts: receivables variance and accounting variance. A receivables variance is the result of data corruption in the Receivables tables. An accounting variance is the result of data corruption either in subledger accounting or the general ledger. Variance amounts don't display in any other section of the summary or detail reports.

The Receivables to General Ledger Reconciliation Accounting variance report captures information related to these two causes of data corruption:

• Accounting entries in general ledger sourced from subledger accounting that are present in the general ledger tables, but not available in the subledger accounting tables.

• Accounting entries transferred from the subledger to general ledger that are present in the subledger accounting tables, but not available in the general ledger tables.
