In order to link to certain results (by a result-tag) from reconciliation templates, you can give certain handles to a reconciliation template:

This is done on office level and can be given any name.

But …

When using handles in all kinds of reconciliation templates, it’s better to **make each handle unique**!

If 2 different reconciliation templates have the same handle and the same result in it (for instant the total of the whole reconciliation template), which result will Silverfin then take?

‼

It is important to note that Silverfin won’t take both results, but Silverfin will take the result of the reconciliation template that was **last added**! Even if you update an input-field in the other template, it still will take the last one added!

‼

Even if you want to use 2 templates with the same handle, you have to take this into consideration. It can cause for issues when an user is updating template A, when template B was also added and is in fact the one that Silverfin will take into account!  
Making handles unique for each individuel reconciliation template will prevent such situations.
