Reconciliation types
A reconciliation is run for one type, and the type decides what it goes looking for. The Reconciliations screen is tabbed by them.
| Type | Finds |
|---|---|
| Finance Current | Agent disbursements on current invoices, at finance contract rates, invoiced within the period |
| Finance Arrears | The same, on invoices in arrears |
| Finance Excess | Disbursements for excess on finance contract rates, invoiced within the period |
| Internal Service | Disbursements on internal service rates |
| External Service | Disbursements for an agent on all external service rates, invoiced within the period |
| Interco Service | Inter-company service disbursements |
| Adjustment | A manual correction |
| Payout | A payout |
The Reconciliations screen also carries an In Progress tab, which is a view across types rather than a type of its own.
Finance and service are handled differently
The three finance types are grouped as finance internally, and Finance Current and Finance Arrears share a single disbursement basis. The service types are grouped separately. This is why the tabs are ordered finance first, then service — they are two different calculations, not one calculation with a filter.

Note
Items and Approved are separate counts and routinely differ. A run showing
517 / 416 has found 517 disbursements of which 416 are accepted. The gap is
the work: those items need looking at before the run can be approved.
