Author	Topic: Can't enter balance when no trans to reconcile
FN_User Member	posted 01-06-2009 08:00 AM My reconcilation report is off because the statement balance is wrong. But when I try to reconcile, I get the message "No Outstanding Entries thru Dec for Checking..." The Statement Ending Balance screen never appears so I have no way to correct the statement balance.

David Administrator	posted 02-11-2009 08:27 AM As you found out, Navigator does not let you enter a balance if there are no transactions to reconcile. The workaround is to create an uncleared transaction so that the Balance screen appears: 1. Change any one transaction from Cleared to Outstanding. 2. Start the reconcile. 3. Enter the statement balance when prompted. 4. Clear the one transaction. 5. Print the reconciliation report. - David FNI Technical Support Case #38-10893 IP: Logged
FN_User Member	posted 02-11-2009 08:29 AM OK, that works for some months. But sometimes there are no transactions in the current month, so there is nothing to change to Outstanding. IP: Logged
David Administrator	posted 02-11-2009 08:32 AM In those months, enter a dummy outstanding transaction for $0. You can delete it when you are done reconciling. Actually, the best way to enter Statement Balance manually is to open the Asset and Liability Info screen for the account. Enter the Statement Balance and Statement Balance Date there. That is where Navigator gets the information. - David FNI Technical Support IP: Logged
