Generally, the Recon acct is nothing but a G/L acct for Vendor.

1.The reconciliation account in G/L accounting is the account which is updated parallel to the subledger account for normal postings (for example, invoice or payment).

2.For special postings (for example, down payment or bill of exchange), this account is replaced by another account (for example, 'down payments received' instead of 'receivables').

3.The replacement takes place due to the special G/L indicator which you must specify for these types of postings.

We have to give this recon acct manually as per logic, system will not picks this automatically.

Reward if found useful.

Dear Friend,

The reconciliation account in G/L accounting is the account which is

updated parallel to the subledger account for normal postings (for

example, invoice or payment).

For special postings (for example, down payment or bill of exchange),

this account is replaced by another account (for example, 'down payments

received' instead of 'receivables').

The replacement takes place due to the special G/L indicator which you

must specify for these types of postings.

>>Which means that it is a account whcih is maintained in parallel to G/L account.

This Scenerio helps in reconcilling the data.....

1.When a check is doposited in the Sytem...

It goes to The Customer reconsil account also...Now if the Invoice is not knocked offed with the valid accounting documents .IN TC:FBL5 customer balances line item --Same shows as outstanding....

Thus it is reconcilled with Reconcillation account and revalidates the result..

2. Again for example when a Vendor gives payment and it is yet not cleared in the system.....We have the PIF that check is deposited ...The reconcillation account then is used forthe prevalidation of the same.....

Apart for these there are neumerous secenrios where this reconcillation is used

as in balance sheet preperation in the fiscal year ending for adjusting etc....
