Yes. Once the cost center/project has had actuals activity, you will have a reconciliation each month for the rest of the year. In the months where a reconciliation is produced, but the month had no actuals activity, the reconciler is required to approve the reconciliation; however, since there were no actuals, the reconciliation does not require owner approval and will immediately go to “complete” status once the reconciler has approved. For example:

September No No No No
October Yes Yes Yes Yes
November Yes Yes Yes Yes
December* No Yes Yes No
