Bank Rec Statement End Balance and Unresolved aren't matching

SUGGESTED

I've had an amount left unresolved for November bank rec which I haven't been able to figure out so I have reversed my last reconciliation (Oct) and started again.

Oct opening and end balance in Sage 50 matches my bank statement before I've started my Oct reconciliation. I ticked/reconciled all Oct transactions and unresolved is now at zero. So I post the Oct rec.

Then the opening and end balance in Sage 50 matches my bank statement for Nov 1 to Nov 30. Before I even start my reconciliation with no transactions ticked/reconciled, my unresolved is not a negative match to my statement end balance. There is a difference of approx $5,068.39. 

I've never had this before and I don't want to proceed with the reconciliation knowing that it will be out this much at the end (at least).

Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve?

    did you make any adjustments in the month of November?  If so there will be an entry on the opposite side in your bank rec.

    perhaps you have a deposit or more deposits than payment total that would caust the amount to be a positive number. Also if you have your bank statement try  leaving the ending balance with no amount in it. then tick off about 3 entries from your bank statment and use the running total amount on your bank statement ( the bank total amount on the statement at the point where the bank shows the first 3 entries. eg; for your ending balance only put the balance as at november 1st or s2nd from your bank statement. and see it it is resolved to that point. then save ( DO NOT POST) just save it and then add 3 more entries and so on... This will help you find where you are out. Hope you understand. Let me know if this works. PS if you have " do not show corrections checked off" uncheck it.. it could also be a correction missing the other side of the reversal.
