Add / Remove Support

How to attach supporting documentation to an account balance and keep your workpapers in order.

1

Open the account

From Rec HQ, click the account you want to add support to, then navigate to the Workpapers tab.

2

Click Add Support

Click the Add Support button to create a new workpaper entry. A row will appear in the support table.

3

Enter a description

Give the supporting item a clear description — for example, 'August prepayment schedule' or 'Trade creditors listing as at 31 Aug'.

4

Enter the supporting balance

Enter the amount this support item represents. The total of all support entries should equal the account balance in Xero. RecHound will flag any difference.

5

Check the variance

The variance indicator at the top of the workpapers section shows whether your total support agrees to the account balance. A zero variance means you're balanced.

6

To remove a support entry

Click the delete icon (trash) on the relevant row. You'll be asked to confirm before the entry is removed. This cannot be undone.

7

Submit for approval

Once your support is complete and the variance is zero, click Submit to send the reconciliation for review by the assigned approver.
