How to Reconcile the GANI (Goods Accepted Not Invoiced)

Reconciling the GANI ensures that the nominal and ledger accounts remain accurate and aligned. Follow these steps to perform the reconciliation effectively:

Step 1: Run a Nominal Reconciliation Report

1. Generate a nominal reconciliation report to check for any imbalances between the nominal accounts and the ledger.

Step 2: Investigate Imbalances

1. If an imbalance exists, double-click on the GANI line in the report.

2. This action will display a detailed list of accounts, highlighting which accounts have discrepancies.

Step 3: Handle Balances Without Account Numbers

1. If the report shows a balance without an associated account number, it is likely due to a journal entry.

2. Review recent journal postings to identify and address the source of the imbalance.

Step 4: Address Account-Specific Imbalances

1. For imbalances tied to specific accounts:

   • If the amount is small, it may be written off to maintain alignment.

   • For larger amounts, a thorough investigation is required to identify the root cause.

Best Practices

1. Perform GANI reconciliations regularly to prevent discrepancies from accumulating.

2. Document any adjustments made for future reference and auditing purposes.

3. Review your journal entry processes to minimise errors that lead to imbalances.
