You needed to enter the outstanding items that had not gone thru the credit card stmt yet. That is what the 300.00 was. You just need to reset your bank rec for the credit card and and the o/s transaction so that the balance will now show as -300.00 instead of 0.00.

sorry - typo error ....and ADD the o/s transactions so that........

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 ?

looks like my screenshots, pasted from word, and displayed in the rich text view, didn't make it, so I will resubmit using insert media

Remember that this is a credit card - not a bank acct - so the balances you enter will be a negative amount. Try entering -300.00 as the beginning balance - that should clear up the discrepancy.

yes, account class is credit card payable

with a prior o/s of 300.00 withdrawal

entering -300 as the opening balance, sets the discrepancy to 0.00 but unresolved is 300.00

clearing both 300 and 122.33, leaves unresolved of 300.00

setting ending balance of -422.33 leaves unresolved of -544.66

so you entered beginning balance as -300.00 and ending balance as -422.33. Checking off the 300.00 and 122.43 withdrawals then your rec window should show resolved of 422.43, discrepancy of 0.00 and unresolved of 0.00.

Perhap outstanding balance you entered was not outstanding as of your beginning date of Oct1?

In your first screen shot you did not have anything listed on or after Sept30/14 in the upper window.
