As you complete your first bank reconciliation in agrē, you may find that some of the transactions that appear on your statement are not reflected in detailed postings in agrē. The transactions, however, are included in your agrē starting balance (e.g., cheques that have not yet cleared). These transactions must still be accounted for in the reconciliation process without creating any journal entries.
Use the Outstanding Bank Transactions window to enter outstanding bank transactions without making postings that hit the general ledger.
