# ERPNext Bank Reconciliation Tool

The built-in bank reconciliation tool that ships with ERPNext. Lives
at the **Bank Reconciliation Tool** entry in the awesomebar.

Both [Mint](./mint) and [Advanced Bank
Reconciliation](./advanced-bank-reconciliation) effectively replace
or extend it — but it's still there, still works, and is the right
choice in some scenarios.

## When to use it

- **Low volume.** Up to ~30 Bank Transactions per period is fine to
  click through manually here.
- **You don't want to install another app.** Mint / ABR are
  separate apps; the built-in tool ships with ERPNext.
- **First-pass before installing Mint / ABR.** It's worth getting
  comfortable with the standard flow first so you understand what
  the alternatives change.

## How it works

1. Open **Bank Reconciliation Tool** → pick Company + Bank Account +
   date range.
2. The tool lists unreconciled Bank Transactions on the left.
3. Click a transaction → ERPNext suggests matches from Payment
   Entries / Journal Entries / unpaid invoices, sorted by best
   guess.
4. Click a match → it's reconciled.
5. No auto-reconciliation, no rules engine — every match is a
   human click.

## Limitations

- **One transaction at a time.** No bulk operations.
- **No fuzzy search.** You scroll through candidates or use the
  basic filters.
- **No statement import optimisation.** Goes through ERPNext's
  standard Bank Statement Import; Mint's import is more forgiving.

## Prilk support

Built into ERPNext, supported as standard. For real-world Dutch SMB
workflows we typically recommend installing either Mint or ABR
(or both) — see [Reconciliation](../reconciliation) for the
comparison.
