[GNC] Reconciliation error - how should I correct?

[Stephen]

Presumably you are on a cash basis. If not then stop reading here. If on 
a cash basis then you (your bank) paid the bill in August, regardless of 
when you received the bill. Why do you say the transaction occurred in 
June? Maybe the work was done/goods were delivered, etc. but the bill 
was paid in August. Enter the bill payment on the date it was paid and 
reconcile your account with your August bank statement per usual 
procedures. If you want to you can memo the payment with a note about 
when the work was done (June). You can include invoice # etc etc. Not a 
reconciliation error. Am I missing something?
