What does Balance reconciliation mean?
Balance reconciliation compares an expected balance with the actual record and investigates any difference. It is a control process rather than a reason to overwrite unexplained figures.
Why it matters
Begin with a known opening quantity, add confirmed top-ups and adjustments, and subtract recorded consumption. Compare the result with the relevant panel or supplier statement. Check missing actions, duplicates and timing differences before deciding there is an error. Keep the explanation and any approved correction so a later review can follow the same history.
A practical example
For example, a reseller who expects forty credits but sees thirty-seven should identify the intervening actions and their rules. A forgotten three-credit renewal might explain the difference, while an unexplained deduction needs a specific support enquiry. Simply changing the spreadsheet to thirty-seven would make the totals match without establishing what happened.
