I reconcile via the Register and compare to the report

US QuickBooks for Macintosh : 2010

I cannot get my reconciliation report to sort correctly so that debit cards charges, etc are easy to locate. I am having to reconcile a years worth of transactions with 100's of transactions per month. Since the reconciliation report does not sort first by date, then number it takes forever to find debit card charges (there are many) in the reconciliation window.

So, I open the check register and double or triple click on each cleared entry. Then I save as long as the check mark is a regular font - not bold. I can easily reconcile the checks from the reconcile window, then I verify that all the proper items are checked, then click done. It works great but....

Why can't we sort the transactions by date, then number when reconciling? And will there be any negative transactions in the future from reconciling in this manner? So far I have completed 7 months.

The solution

I don't see why there would be any negative repercussions from doing this. I strongly suggest you backup your file often. I always suggest that. You don't want to ever have to do this again because you had a disk failure, power outage, etc.

The reason why it doesn't allow sorting is just because we weren't able to rewrite the reconcile window recently. Its old and it shows. Its something we want to do in a future version- just a matter of time and priorities.
