Are we OKAY to started checking off the boxes to 'clear' transactions from the next month before a Prior Month(s) has been cleared?

SUGGESTED

For example:

August-23 isn't balanced so we are still researching the discrepancies. 

In the meantime, can we begin 'clearing' (checking the boxes) for September? Financial reporting is updated and presented weekly, so having an almost 'real-time' bank rec done is important to us. 

IF this is a possibility, I'll throw out a scenario in which someone may have have 2, 3, 4, or more months with discrepancies and haven't been cleared yet. 

Thanks for any help!
