initial credit card reconciliation - forget to set opening balance

trying to reconcile a credit card for the first time, but the card has been used for over a year

I set up the c/c payable account, but left the balance as 0.00 because I had not yet seen the c/c statement

I recorded a transaction for 122.33 (example), and started the reconciliation - per the statement the starting balance is 300.00, the ending is 422.33 - which I entered in the bank rec and cleared the transaction - so the unresolved is / should be 0.00

but I'm left with a discrepancy of -300.00 and an unresolved of 300.00 - no matter why I try under 'add prior outstanding  I can't make both 0.00

what am I missing ?

    that's what I'm trying to accomplish
    I start a new bank rec, opening balance, ending balance, discrepancy, unresolved are all 0.00



    I insert a 300.00 outstanding transaction, discrepancy -300, unresolved 300.00

    the c/c transaction is

    I enter the opening and ending balance and clear the two transactions

    shouldn't both the discrepancy and unresolved now be 0.00 ?
