Key Concepts

To initialize a bank account for first-time use in this module, enter a balance forward for a given account that represents the total of all cleared transactions that have NOT been entered in the system.
The balance forward is entered in the chart of accounts in the new field adjacent to the Next Control Number field. More on Chart of Account Associations
The Bank Rec. ending balance should match the Bank Statement’s ending balance.
Use the Bank Reconciliation applet to clear items as of the last statement.
For ease of use, you can hold down the shift key and select multiple rows and then click on Clear or Unclear to flag multiple transactions. Also, clicking Control + A will clear/unclear all items.
