Overview

Accounting Seed's redesigned Bank Reconciliation uses new page layout actions, fields, and Lightning components. Use this article to update your page layouts, compact layouts, Lightning record pages, and permission sets so your org is ready to use it. These steps apply only if you're upgrading from an earlier version of Accounting Seed; new installs already have this configuration in place.

Prerequisites

1. New Bank Reconciliation is only available for the Lightning UI.
2. My Domain must be enabled in Salesforce. See My Domain in Salesforce Help.
3. The Accounting Seed Hub is authorized. This is required for the Generate PDF Report action added in Winter '27 Preview. If the Hub isn't authorized, that action fails. See Accounting Seed Hub.

Step 1: Configure the Page Layouts

For general steps on editing a page layout, see Edit Page Layouts Manually.

Bank Reconciliation page layout

1. Add the following buttons:
   • Create Next
   • Generate PDF Report, added in Winter '27 Preview for orgs upgrading from an earlier version. This is the new full report combining the summary and four transaction lines, built via Document Merge. New installs already have it on the packaged layout.
   • Generate PDF Summary, added in Winter '27 Preview for orgs upgrading from an earlier version. Same output as the legacy Create PDF Summary action, with a new modal. New installs already have it on the packaged layout.
   • Generate CSV File, added in Winter '27 Preview for orgs upgrading from an earlier version. Same output as the legacy Create CSV File action, with a new modal. New installs already have it on the packaged layout.
2. Important: Your org's page layout palette lists the legacy and new actions side by side (for example, both Create PDF Summary and Generate PDF Summary), but each has its own distinct label. The Mobile & Lightning Actions quick find list confirms six separate, non-duplicated labels: Create PDF Report, Create PDF Summary, Create CSV File (legacy) and Generate PDF Report, Generate PDF Summary, Generate CSV File (new). Add the Generate-prefixed action specifically. The legacy Create-prefixed actions are left in place by default and work identically to before. Removing them is optional. For help choosing between the similarly named actions, see Bank Reconciliation Reports, which also covers what each one generates.

   

3. Remove the following buttons: Create Reconciliation Report, Clear/Unclear Transactions.
4. Add the following fields: Override Beginning Balance, Type, Status.
5. Remove the Status field from the Additional Information section, and remove the Statement Start Date field.

1. In Object Manager, open the Bank Reconciliation object.
2. Select Lightning Record Pages.
3. Select your custom page and click Edit.
4. Drag bankRecCalculator and BankRec Data Table onto the page.
5. Click Save.

Step 2: Assign Permissions
