I just started to use bank rec. module electronically type. When there are transactions such as direct deductions or deposits that are not in GL bank account, am I supposed to post these transactions in the bank rec. module by creating a new batch? Is it correct that no longer I should post any entry directly thru GL module that are related to any bank transactions once the bank rec. module is set up to use?

Kitty:
"Yes" is the answer to both questions. All transactions that affect the bank account either have to originate in the Bank Reconciliation module (such as the ones you described) or pass through from AP, AR or Payroll.

Recent versions of the Bank module will help you with those direct deposits and deductions by allowing you to recognize them in an automated fashion when you are downloading and reconciling your electronic statement. It's more involved than can be addressed in this thread but you can watch the Adagio webinars for full details.

Last AR cheque batch of October didn't get posted until Nov. 1 but was mistakenly included as part of the OS items to be reconciled when the BR module was set up. In other words, there are two identical cash receipts in November GL bank account to be reconciled but only one should be there. How do I correct this so that the bank account is properly reconciled.

Kitty:
Enter a batch in BR to reverse the duplicate batch. Remember to consider the GL effect: Depending on how those entries were set up originally, you may need to delete the GL entries when they reach the GL.

Last bank transactions export I selected Nov. 1 to Nov. 27. To complete the November month bank rec., I need to export the remaining transactions of November from my bank website. What date range should I select, Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 or Nov. 28 to Nov. 30?

Kitty:
Did you do a full Reconciliation and post it for Nov. 27? If that's the case, you only need transactions from the 28th.

However note that, even if you bring over more than you need, you can always select all of the Nov 1 to Nov 27 transactions on the left-hand side of the screen and press the [Delete] key on your keyboard, thus leaving only the ones that you need.
