Re-Opened: When a statement has been re-opened, this indicator is always set. This is because once a statement is re-opened, it cannot be deleted. The Delete Statement option is allowed only for suspended statements that have not been re-opened.
Click here for information regarding Master Statement Numbers.
If you are reconciling multiple agencies using the same criteria, a single suspended reconciliation statement is created for which a master statement number is generated. When the statement is finalized, a separate statement is created for each agency. These statements have unique statement numbers but share the same master statement number. This enables you to work on items for different agencies together while the statement is suspended, but to pay the agency statements separately once it is finalized, meaning that the correct General Ledger payable accounts per agency are affected.
When you perform the Reopen Statement or Reverse Statement action on a finalized payable reconciliation statement, you have the option of reopening/reversing all of the statements that share this statement’s master statement number, selected statements with this master statement number, or only the selected statement.
