Bank Inquiry
Bank Inquiry is the ledger for a single bank or cash account — every deposit, payment and transfer in date order with a running balance. It is where you audit an account's activity and check it against the statement before formally reconciling.

Balance Summary Lines
Opening balance, total in, total out and closing balance for the period. Opening plus inflow less outflow equals closing — if the closing figure is not what the bank says, the difference is inside the period shown.
Transaction Status & Shortcuts
Each line shows whether it has been reconciled. Unreconciled entries are what Reconcile works through, and clicking a reference opens the underlying document.
Action Buttons (Top Bar)
Shortcuts to record a new deposit, payment or transfer, and to print the ledger.
Note
This is your record, not the bank's. A difference against the statement means either something is missing here, or the bank has posted something you have not yet recorded — Reconcile is what tells you which.
