What do Side A, Side B and Side C represent in this reconciliation?

Last updated on Aug 31, 2026

Short Answer: Side A = "Your Records"; Side B = "External records"; Side C = "Settlement records" — each column has a short description under the title.

PreRequisites

  1. Open the New reconciliation page to view the side labels

Steps

  1. Look at the left column title: "Side A - Your Records" and read the subtext under it.
    You see: "These are the records you expect to be correct."

  2. Look at the middle column title: "Side B - External records" and read its subtext.
    You see: "These are records received from external systems."

  3. Look at the right column title: "Side C - Settlement records" and read its subtext.
    You see: "These are bank or final settlement records matched against Side B."

Troubleshooting

Note: Place example hints are visible in each upload field: "E.g., Order, Sales, Returns" Side A, "E.g., Payments, Refunds" Side B, "E.g., Bank, Settlement" Side C.
