Note:
Transactions
cannot be Reconciled/Un-reconciled under the following circumstances:
You cannot change the entry status when you have sorted by Status or Reconciliation amount. You can sort by date and then use the filter to show only un-reconciled entries.
When another user is logged in to the same Bank you cannot Reconcile/Un-reconcile.
Tip:
There
are two ways to speed up the Reconciliation:
Clear the reconciled transactions to History so you do not display a large volume of entries in the bank reconciliation.
Change the sort order of the bank reconciliation to Date.
