## Reconciliation statuses

Each account on the trial balance has a reconciliation status indicating where it is in the tie-out process:

| Status                   | Description                                                       |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **N/A**                  | The trial balance has not been ingested yet                       |
| **Needs matches**        | The account needs matching documents or blocks identified         |
| **Needs reconciliation** | The account is ready to be reconciled                             |
| **Incomplete**           | Reconciliation data is incomplete                                 |

## One-click reconciliation

The one-click reconciliation feature allows for faster trial balance tie-outs when the AI suggestion is correct.

## AI tie-out

Denari AI processes your uploaded workpapers to suggest reconciliations. The AI:

* Looks at the first three pages and the last two pages of each document
* Picks the value lowest on the page when multiple matches exist (to better detect totals)
* Considers the file name when making suggestions
* Learns from what you did in the last period

<Tip>
  **Correct file naming is the most important thing you can do to assist the AI.** Name files descriptively — for example, "Fixed assets 053125.pdf" instead of "2014904.pdf" or "download.pdf".
</Tip>

## Parent/sub-account reconciliations

You can view sub-account values by hovering over the child accounts button on the reconciliation screen. Bulk remove all sub-account reconciliations at once using the bulk delete option.

## Workpaper difference

Workpaper difference is calculated using absolute values, so negative account balances with matching positive support will show a difference of zero.
