Hi there.

My company almost exclusively only uses the payroll module, but we use the bank reconciliation report to keep track of cleared checks. I print off a report of uncleared checks, the accountant lets me know which have cleared, then I manually check the cleared box in the reconcile bank screen.

I have only been working here for a few months, but something doesn't seem right. There are checks that show up in the reconcile bank screen going back to when this company started using Sage, and the Out of Balance By field in the top right just keeps counting up. Since we don't use any other accounting features of Sage, I didn't question it for a while. However, it makes the reconcile bank screen take forever to load in entirely and I really would like to learn how to use this feature properly.

Does anybody have any insight into how I can get the Out of Balance By field to go down instead of only going up? Will this help remove entries from the reconcile bank grid?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
