At the risk of morphing this discussion into something else, and please factor in that we don't use the bank rec module....

Is there any way in payables when viewing the check reconciliation screen that we can get only the outstanding cheques listed? Since we can't change the status of anything that is already cleared, reversed or voided, is it necessary to see them?

Whether clearing, reversing, or voiding the cheques, or exporting the information to excel in any manner that's been discussed above, life would be simplified if we didn't have to see every cheque ever written. (My current cheque series dates back to April 2011 and involves almost 6000 cheques, which all get displayed). I realize that by setting the report parameters to cherry pick the most recent cheques I need, I eliminate all the old stuff that has been cleared, voided or reversed. By utilizing the excel direct button on the check reconciliation screen, every cheque still gets exported rather than the outstanding ones I assume most of us really need to deal with.
