Your query is not relevant to my challenge, but I will answer since it is my
challenge.

It's a complicated payroll. Lets say 35 to 40. Naturally only one detail
line for the net payroll charge to checking for the month. The journal entry
has also been memorized from a prior month so all that needs to be done is
enter the new numbers.

Using the service's cheque register to determine the o/s cheques at the
reconciliation date the credits to the bank on the monthly payroll entry
should consist of 2 numbers -total $ cleared and total $ o/s.

Very close but no cigar, some checks can remain oustanding for months. Your
method introduces needless potential complications. Keep it Simple.

I'll second that. I pitch my paychecks in the drawer. When the drawer gets
full, I take 'em to the bank. Don't most folk operate that way (except for
the terminally anal, of course)?

What I do is make a deposit into my checking account for the total of the
"uncleared" payroll checks. After I reconcile the checking account, I
delete that deposit.
