Just to clarify, are you importing cheques into Accounts Payable, which end up in the Bank module for clearing, or are you importing Bank Entry Withdrawals directly into the Bank as there isn't a way to import cheques directly into the bank per se?  If its definitely an A/P Payment (Cheque) import, make sure you're importing into into an A/P Payment Batch not into the Bank Reconciliation.  Cheers

so to clarify, i am importing the status changes for AP checks into the bank reconciliation module.  these  are payments that have already been posted in the AP module.  

Wow OK that's something I've never thought of doing before!  I can understand the business case for it if dealing with a large volume of reconciliation items.  I did an export from a Bank Rec and noted all my POSTDATE fields are blank which makes sense as the Bank Reconciliation shouldn't be posted yet if you're trying to clear transactions.  Perhaps the error message is inaccurate - try importing again without the POSTDATE columns and see if that resolves it.  Aside from that unfortunately I don't have knowledge of this import to help.  Maybe someone else will chime in.  Good luck!

thanks.  yes, that is exactly the use case.  thanks a bunch.
