I have a huge list of checks in the reconciliation listing, some going back many years. Can I clear them out and only leave the recent ones?
A. Certainly. First, select Payments / Check reconciliation to bring up the list. Use the drop down list to limit the list to one bank if you wish. If all the checks you want to clear are marked anything except “O” for outstanding, skip the next step. If you want to mark a whole range of outstanding checks as cleared, click on the first one, then scroll down to the last one and Shift-click on it. All the checks in between will be selected. Now, right-click on any of the selected checks and choose “Cleared” from the list. All the selected checks will now show “O>C.” Click on the “Post” button and all the checks will be marked as cleared. Select Payments / Print Check Reconciliation. Check all the Check Status boxes. (If you do not want a pile of paper, select the print destination as “File” and choose a format and filename.) Click the Print button. Once the printing is done, you will be asked “Do you want to clear all the checks that are not outstanding?” Select “Yes.” Your list will no
