How to: Apply Two Bank Statement Transactions to One Ledger Entry

To reconcile a bank account, you must fill in the bank account reconciliation and correct any necessary lines. If the contents of the Statement Ending Balance and Total Balance fields are not equal after correcting lines, then you must apply entries. For example, you may find that two transactions on the bank statement correspond to one bank account ledger entry. In this case, you must apply the ledger entry to the bank account transactions.
