5.4. How do I Reconcile checks.
There is a screen in the software that is used to mark the written checks as Cashed, or Reconciled. This is used to let you know the outstanding checks and amounts that are out there. If you lookup your checks that have cashed via your on-line bank account, or even your bank statement, you can mark them in the system as cashed. This lets you know totals of outstanding commitments that are still in play.
To arrive at the Check Reconciliation screen, from the main screen, click Maintenance, then Reconciliation.
The Check Reconciliation screen is displayed when you want to Mark the Printed Checks in the database as Reconciled or Cashed.
You can mark each individual check as Cashed by clicking on the check box. This will cause the check to disappear from the screen and reduce the totals at the bottom of the screen. Or, if you want to mark them all as cashed, click on the Edit menu and select Check All, or just press Ctrl-A.
Now this is not a full check reconciliation procedure, as we do not have a checking account register that keeps track of balances, and such, but it should help you know if there are any outstanding checks that have not been cashed, etc.
