Bank Rec. Balance is off General Accounting>Bank Reconciliation

Question:

The balance in the bank rec. has never been correct. How do I update this field to make it match my 12/31/08 bank statement?

Answer:

There is a balance forward amount in the General Ledger/Chart of Accounts/Account Association tab. Bring up the bank in question. Plug in the variance amount in the Bal Frwd column. This is used for detail that cannot be accounted for.
