Bank Reconcile Date

Feature

Starting with Goldenseal accounting software version 3.6, we have added a field that calculates the statement date under which each bank transaction was reconciled. Having that information makes it easier for you to sort your bank transactions into order, by statement period.

Setup

To tell Goldenseal accounting software the date for each reconcile period, follow these steps:

1. Choose Other Lists from the Options menu, and choose Reconcile Periods from the submenu.
2. Click the New button to add a new period, or select an existing period and click Edit.
3. Enter the date of that reconcile period.
4. Click OK.

To mark the statement date for bank transactions that have cleared, fill a Reconcile period into the Reconcile field at the top of the bank transaction window.

How to Use

To sort your bank transactions by their statement date, follow these steps:

1. Choose Checking Transactions from the Bank menu, and choose an account from the submenu.
2. Choose Sort from the Edit menu.
3. You'll see a list of fields. Choose Statement Date, then click OK.
4. Goldenseal will sort the bank transactions into order, based on the statement date on which they appear.

NOTE-- You can also sort banking reports by the date reconciled, if that value is included in one of the columns of the table.
