Bank Account Reconciliation

  • Items imported from Quickbooks are all flagged as being reconciled. It is advisable to reconcile as much as possible in Quickbooks prior to importing. 
  • For checks that are still outstanding, you can change the status of a check from "Cleared" to "Outstanding" in the Checks screen in Bookkeeper. This will make the check unreconciled and it will show in the bank reconciliation screen.

Invoice Numbers

  • As invoices are loaded, the invoice numbers will start at 1 and will be incremented as new invoices are added.
  • The actual Quickbooks invoice number will be stored in the Custom field on the Brass Jacks Bookkeeper invoice

Check Transactions

  • Checks with no check numbers will be assigned the next highest check number
  • Existing blank check stock that is less than the highest check number assigned can be destroyed. If desired, those checks can be used by manually entering the check numbers and using Brass Jacks Bookkeeper’s ability to edit the check number on a check.
  • Another option would be to setup another bank account (same bank account information) using a starting check number of the next number in the existing check stock.
