I am doing my first reconciliation which is for January 2014. Fiscal year started January 1 and is the opening date for my file. As I had outstanding items from December that were processed in January, I followed a suggestion found in here in the forums to enter those manually. They totaled $2940.72. After going through the transactions for the account, I ended with a discrepancy of -$2940.72 and an unresolved amount of $2940.72.
I have no idea how to clear both of these. Obviously it has something to do with the outstanding items. I have made sure my opening and ending balances are entered correctly. Insights would be greatly appreciated.
