RE: Multiple checkbooks linked to the same GL account
To answer your questions:
1. What should I choose in Step 4d ? I assume clear unused receipts....but, I'm not sure.
>>If you don't need to post a deposit for any of the cash receipts listed, and simply want to clear them off the window without updating the GL cash account or the checkbook balance, then yes, simply use the 'Clear Unused Receipts' option. It does exactly what it says. It 'clears' any receipts off that window that will not be used.
2. In Step 6 - I'm certain I would mark all.
>>You would mark all the transactions that you want 'out of your way', and leave any transactions unmarked that should be 'carried' at the point in time, so they show up again on the bank reconciliation window next month.
3. Question - to be clear - do any of these actions in steps 4 or 6 affect the GL account?
No, we wouldn't have you hit GL on a 'dummy bank reconciliation'. The only thing that will hit GL is the 'adjustment' you key within the Bank reconciliation in step 8, so we have you turn off posting to GL in step 7 before keying that and then key your adjustment in step 8 and print your reports in step 9. When you click the RECONCILE button in step 10, that will 'complete' or post the bank reconciliation and that is when the adjustment would normally hit GL,but since you turned GL posting off in step 7, it will not post to GL. After completing or finalizing the bank reconciliation in step 10, then we have you turn GL posting back on again in step 11, so you are ready for real bank reconciliation next time. All the steps to follow are in the KB article.
Please make sure to have a backup first or do this in a TEST Company first, so you can see how it works.
