Reconciling Vehicle Stock with the Nominal Ledger

See also Vehicle Stock to NL Reconciliation Report.

This program enables automated reconciliation for all balance sheet accounts where both the debit(s) to the account and its subsequent credit(s) are made by the same vehicle record. It also reconciles the vehicle work in progress account. All other accounts are reconciled manually.

The transactions of all the major vehicle stock accounts are normally held in the nominal ledger down to a suffix open-item level, such that the make-up of any stock account within the nominal ledger can be detailed to show the individual transactions and/or balances for each vehicle. Eventually, when the balance for that vehicle is reduced to zero, that detail will disappear from the nominal ledger transaction file at the end of the next accounting period. This allows any stock account to be reconciled with the vehicle stockbook, by producing a sub-totalled report of the transactions on that account in suffix order, and comparing that to an appropriate report produced from the vehicle stockbook records.
