Bank Reconciliation Outstanding Checks

[Rosa Ramirez]

Hello All,
I recently upgraded to Peachtree Complete Accounting 2008. When I go to Reconciling the bank account the old outstanding checks I had under the previous version now show up as an unreconciled amount.

I can make a GL adjusing entry to adjust this, but then in the following month's bank rec some (not all) of the outstanding checks still show up as an unreconciled amount. So, if I make another entry to correct this my books will be off. Anybody else have this problem?

The situation that you describe is typically associated with the use of duplicate Deposit Ticket Numbers. Edit the deposit tickets associated with the entries in question and add a suffix to the deposit ticket number, as this usually resolves the problem.

Hi Rick,
I don't use the deposit tickets. We operate with a operating line of credit. All receivables are taken straight to pay the line of credit, when we need to deposit cash into the bank it is actually a draw on the line. All this is posted through the GJ.

Rosa, when you create a General Journal Entry there is a field labeled REFERENCE. In this case, this is the element that must be unique to every Journal Entry.
