Then for every OUTSTANDING entry I must post it as cleared and then go back and 
mark it unreconciled( that was what I did ). Somehow this seems counter 
productive. We should be able to run clearing any time we have a statement from 
our bank.

The other alternative is to exclude the OUTSTANDING entries... does deleting 
them from the clearing panel ONLY impact the clearing or does it also affect the 
transaction as well???

Cheers,
Jay
