checking acct transactions - dates

Using Q2009 - I usually enter my checking acct transactions with the date I create the check. Then when they download & clear, they match up and later can be marked as Reconciled.

Just wondering if there are any ill effects if the date entered is the future due date ?

ie - they appear below the blue line, and what happens when they download and clear "before" the transaction date ?

I don't think they clear. Q will think they are "new" Txs. What I do in those cases is go from the list of downloaded Txs (the bottom "pane") to the entered Tx listing, change the date of the "future" Tx, and then let it get matched. Also, I have activated the column that gets the posting date, so I have 2 dates for each Tx to look at: The "enter" date (Date column) and the clearing date (Posting Date).

Of course you can manually clear Txs below the blue line.

Blue line only appears when the register is sorted by date, AFAIK.

Tnx - I think I may have stumbled across that previously, but - probably forgot again.... which is why I use the current date vs due date -

yup - they download and appear as NEW - at that point you can EDIT them and Manual Match to the entered transaction with the future dates, and Accept - then they appear a C cleared.
