I have 5 cheques that were written in the previous fiscal year but not cashed until the current fiscal year. I entered them as the date they were written. They show up in the current fiscal year reconciliation as needing to be reconciled, but all my entries for that account are not showing up and the date is defaulting to the last day of the previous year when the cheques were written. I thought I could just mark off the outstanding cheques with the first month of the new fiscal year, but do they need to be moved to a payable payment type of account first?? Or should I adjust them to the date they were cashed (which is what i normally do for the cheques written and cashed in the same fiscal year), and go from there?
