CASE: how to create a custom reconciliation template

If you want to add a custom reconciliation template to your firm, you’ll need to add this from firm level (or create it as a text template first on company level, to immediately see the output of your code).

Go to Firm level, click Add a reconciliation and then choose New blank template, and you’ll see this:

What’s important here, is the following:

  • Handle: use this to give a unique name to your template, so you can reference values from this template in another template.
    More info on that here

  • Virtual account number: if you want to be able to export your template in a PDF, you have to fill in. Based on this number, it’s decided under which section of the bundle the template will be shown.
    F.i. if you fill in number ‘710000’ your template will be shown under the section of “revenu”. If this number is not filled in, you will not be able to export your template to PDF (bundle).

  • Reconciliation type: here you will decide whether the template can be reconciled automatically (without having to input any data manually), or be reconciled with the need to input data manually, or that being reconciled is not needed (f.i. if you calculate taxes of some kind).

The following configurations are optional, and you will likely never need to change them:

  • Formula for automatic hiding: this field accepts liquid code, if the outcome of the code is “true” in a specific company file, then the template will be hidden. See this case for more info.

  • Can be manually added: this option is true by default, were you to untick it, you’ll only be able to add this template to a company file as part of a workflow.

  • Visible for external users: This is different from the Interact feature Silverfin offers. If a template is visible for external users, every Pulse user has access to the template in Read-Only. They can also download it as excel.

  • Allow duplicate reconciliations: If you tick this boolean, the template can be added to a file more than once. We do not recommend this, as it can give issues when referencing to the template, since they would share the same handle.

  • Use full width: This boolean is ticked by default. It means the template will, in input view, use the entire width of the screen to display the information. Turning this off will make the view more narrow, which can be desirable depending on the content you want to present.

  • Downloadable as docx: If you tick this boolean, a new option will become available on the template in the “actions” menu. On top of being able to download as excel, you’ll have an option to download as docx. Note that .docx does not support tables. This option exists mostly for text-based templates such as legal texts.

Below, you’ll find the editor to start building your code of the custom template. As soon as it’s added on firm level, it can be used on any company file.

Thanks Sven! Problem solved.
