- In the newly dated Bank Reconciliation process, use select all then uncheck any uncleared items using the report and the bank statement as your guide.

If a bank reconciliation was reopened:
If you entered service charges or interest when you were processing the bank reconciliation and reconciled the bank account a journal entry was created to record service charges and/or interest . When you open the replacement reconciliation you will not enter these items. You will need to edit the date on the journal entry to the date of the new bank reconciliation.
