This screen allows you to:
Reconcile or unreconcile processed checks.
Before you begin:
Choose the Reconcile Checks from the Payables Menu which is an option on the Accounting Menu. The Accounting Menu option is located on the Main Menu.
It is not required that checks be reconciled. If you do reconcile your checks, the check register report can total the check amounts for reconciled verses unreconciled checks which would aide in reconciling your bank statement.
It is often convenient to reconcile the entire range of checks on your bank statement and then, using the unreconcile option, unreconcile the "missing" checks.
Prompt descriptions...
Enter GL cash account, or click [Select] to choose from list:
You must enter the general ledger cash account from which you wish to reconcile checks. All checks are written from a particular general ledger cash account.
If you know the general ledger cash account number you wish to work with, enter that number.
Click [Select] to select the cash account from a list of general ledger accounts. A List Display of all general ledger accounts will be displayed.
Change Cash Acct [Range], [Unreconcile], [Reconcile], Enter check #, or [Exit]:
Enter the check number to change. A valid check number must be entered. Check information will be displayed and the reconciled status will change to the reconciled status you are working with (if you are reconciling, the check is reconciled; if you are unreconciling, the check set to outstanding). This prompt will repeat.
Click [Range] to change the reconciled status of a range of check numbers. You will be prompted for the first check number and the last check number. The reconcile status of all existing checks within the entered range will be changed. If a check does not exist within the range, no processing will occur for that non-existent check.
Click [Exit] to exit this screen and return to the Payables Menu.
The ‘Cash Acct’ [Select] Option allows you to change to a different general ledger cash account. The above "Enter GL cash account..." prompt will be asked.
The [Unreconcile] Select Option allows you to unreconcile (make outstanding) checks. All checks entered while using this option will be set to outstanding. This option is convenient when you have reconciled a large range of checks and need to unreconcile the "missing" checks.
The [Reconcile] Select Option allows you to reconcile checks. All checks entered while using this option will be set to reconciled. This is the default option upon entry to this screen.
