Explore Account Reconciliation User Interface

Lineos speeds up Account Reconciliation by providing an intuitive interface organized into modules that guide you through the complete reconciliation workflow.

This article introduces the main components of the Account Reconciliation interface and helps you understand how to navigate the application effectively.

The Account Reconciliation interface consists of three main areas:

Header Bar

The header bar spans across the top of the application and contains essential navigation and user controls that remain accessible from any module.

Application Title/Logo

The Lineos logo appears on the left side of the header bar, followed by the Account Reconciliation module name.

Note: Click the logo to redirect to the Lineos platform.

Legal Entity Selector [v26.3] 

The Legal Entity Selector allows users to filter the application view by a specific legal entity. The selector is displayed in the header bar, to the right of the Period selector, and applies across the Dashboard, Reconciliations, and Files modules. The selected legal entity persists across navigation within the session.

To filter by legal entity:

1. Click the Legal Entity dropdown in the header bar.

   The dropdown displays All Legal Entities as the default, followed by all legal entities available to the user.

2. Select a legal entity.

   The Dashboard, Reconciliations list, and Files update to display only data associated with the selected legal entity.

To return to the full view, select All Legal Entities from the dropdown.

Note: The selected legal entity persists across navigation within the session. Switching between modules does not reset the selection.

The legal entity filter applies across the following areas:

Period Selector

The Period Selector, located on the header bar, displays the current working period.

Account Reconciliation operates on monthly accounting periods. The application manages the following periods at any time:

• Current Period: The active period where reconciliation work is performed. Users can create, edit, and complete reconciliations in the current period.

• Historical Periods: All completed periods before the current period, divided into two sub-types:

  • Historical Open: Periods where not all reconciliations have been not completed..

  • Historical Close: Fully completed and closed periods where all reconciliations are approved. These periods are locked to maintain audit trail integrity.

A new period opens only after all reconciliations in the current period are completed and approved. If you see the previous period displayed by default when logging in, this indicates that not all reconciliations in that period have been closed yet.

When a new period becomes current, the previous current period moves to historical status.

The Period Selector allows quick switching between open periods without leaving your current page and updates all displayed data instantly when a new period is selected.

The Period Selector in the header bar enables quick switching between periods. Historical closed periods display with a lock icon to indicate read-only status. Historical open periods remain editable until all reconciliations are approved.

Help and Support

The Help and Support button on the header bar is the in-app help entry point.
