Purging Cleared Checks etc from Bank Recon Module

[zinderellie]

Hi there,

I am a new MAS 200 user and have been trying to figure out how to purge or clean off the cleared items in the Bank Reconciliation module. I have poked around looking for a function that does this and have not found one. I'm probably looking right at it and don't see it.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks... Tanya =)

Run the bank reconciliation register for a specific bank code (you cannot run it for all banks).

Upon completion, if the out-of-balance amount is zero, the report will prompt you whether you want to purge cleared checks.

Thank you! I think I was entering with "all banks". I will try it using a specific bank next time.

You can only purge by choosing a specific bank code and it must be in balance. There are actually three or four requirements for this to work properly. They are the help files. While in bank rec choose the ? in the bottom right corner.

Hope this helps.

I have never purged my cleared bank transactions before. Do I loose my check history? What effect, if any, does this have on the general ledger history? If I purge and then, through Vendor Maintenance, I lookup a check number from last year, will there be a viewable history?
Just call me a fraidy-cat...Thanks for the help.

The process just removes data from your bank reconciliation detail file -- it leaves check history/gl transactions/everything else alone. You'd still everything else you've mentioned. It's purpose is to cleanup data you've already reconciled--so that the bank reconciliation process doesn't just take longer, and longer, and longer as the data piles up.
