We just went live with FENXT, and our implementation vendor brought over every transaction from 2013 into our bank register. What would the best method be to clean these out, so we can start with where we left off with our old software. There are 3520 open transactions that should really only be 20 or so, to start reconciling in FE. Or do we just have to mark them as cleared, and handle them in the regular reconciliation process, the first one being odd?

    We had the same thing. Start the reconciliation process for the last bank rec completed. Select all and then unselect the outstanding items from your last bank reconciliation. If everything came over correctly, the bank rec should balance, you can reconcile and then start with your next month's bank rec in NXT.

    Thank you, that sounds like a good plan.

    @David Plotts depending on how those bank adjustments were added, if they are in a do not post status, technically you could delete them. If they are posted through or created from a journal entry posting, then you would have to follow Sylvia's option and clear them just to get them out of the outstanding status in the bank rec section.
