If you have uncashed cheques and receipts you can't cancel because they are from a previous year and you want to get them off the reconciliation page but retain an audit trail, you can do this by entering contra-entry transactions to cancel them out.

To cancel out debit transactions

Select Transactions > Enter Income.
Fill out the same account, description (eg 'To Clear Bank Rec), amount, name etc. (to mirror the original transaction).
Select the type as a Direct Credit.
Click Save.

Once saved, you will have your original uncashed cheques on your bank reconciliation screen with the matching credits. Simply reconcile these transactions together and this will clear them from your system.

To cancel out credit transactions

Select Transactions > Record Expenditure.
Fill out the same account, description (eg 'To Clear Bank Rec), amount, name etc. (to mirror the original transaction).
Select the type as a Direct Debit.
Click Save.

Note: Because we have used contra-entries, you balances on your bank will not be affected.
