monthly reconciliation

[prl]

Jim, the reconciliation is against transactions that have reached the 
bank. It's not uncommon for cheques written in one statement month not 
to have been cleared and so they won't appear in the same month's 
statement. This occasionally happens for me with credit card 
transactions, too.

You simply leave the uncleared cheques (and/or credit card transactions) 
for reconciliation against the following month's statement; i.e, unmark 
their check boxes in the reconciliation window for the current month. 
There is nowhere to look other than your next month's bank statement.
