how do you post checks and deposits to GL that were entered in bank reconciliation- Check, Deposit & Adjustment screen?

I have a small company that only writes a couple of checks a month.  I have entered the checks in the Bank Reconciliation-Check, Deposit & Adjustment screen and marked them to post to the ledger.  I can not seem to run any type of transaction journal that will post them to the GL.  How do I post?  Do they only post once reconciled?
