Ribbon

The buttons on the ribbon are explained in the tables below. Some functions are also available in the context menu which opens when you right-click an item.

When you open the Reconciliation workspace initially, the Reconciliations screen will be open in the main workspace area and the Home and Manage Reconciliations tabs will be available on the ribbon. When you open a reconciliation, it will have its own screen, and its own set of ribbon tabs: Reconciliation, Approvals and Tasks. Buttons in the Approvals tab will become active when you open the Approvals tab of the reconciliation, and buttons in the Tasks tab will become active when you open the Task List tab.
