break-trace

Root cause analysis for a reconciliation break compares GL and subledger data to trace discrepancies back to their source transactions. It diffs attributes like posting date, FX rate, and account mapping to generate a concise root cause statement.

Transaction tracing diagnoses discrepancies by diffing attributes like posting date, FX rate/date, account mapping, quantity sign, and amount sign. Comparing these specific fields between GL and subledger data pinpoints the exact source of the break.

Yes, you need GL and subledger data access to diagnose reconciliation breaks. Direct access to both datasets is required to perform the comparison, trace source transactions, and identify the underlying discrepancies accurately.

The best way to generate a root cause statement is by comparing the break row details from both GL and subledger sides. Tracing the break back to its source posting allows the system to produce a concise explanation of the discrepancy.

Your reconciliation break fails to match the GL posting date due to attribute discrepancies during posting. The break-trace process compares posting dates, FX rates, and amount signs between ledgers to identify this exact mismatch as the root cause.
