    they are bank adjustments set up by the system. I would advise , if you do need to make a forcing entry, to make it yourself. This way you can add details, attachments and choose post status yourself vs letting the system.

  • @Kevin Brazell - thank you for getting back to me. Would you have suggestions/ideas why the system making adjustments? Can we edit the adjustments or reverse them without causing havoc someplace else in our GL or in the Bank reconciliation?

    If it's asking you in the bank rec, that's usually happing if the register is out of balance and that has to be 0.00 to complete the bank rec. The only other item is making a direct entry to your bank's gl account on the GL, such as putting a deposit in there, vs a submodule. Then that should make an adjusting entry for each line that hits the GL.

  • @Kevin Brazell Thank you, Kevin for your time and explanation.
