Delete unreconciled rows from external statement

Question

Hi There,
I am struggling with the recon engine in SBO 2005 SP01 PL22. I have created some lines in the 'process external statement' window and have reconciled some of them. Then I realized that i have duplicated a few line. But now, when I want to 'delete row' against a line that has NOT been reconciled I receive the following message;
'Reconciled rows found on the page. Delete reconciled rows before adding/removing.'
I have reconciled quite a few lines already and was hoping there is a way to remove the unreconciled lines without redoing all the work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Wynand Cilliers.
PS. I also have a screenshot but do not know how to attach.

Answer 1

Dear ,
The system by definition does not allow deleting the rows before the
last reconciliation in the Process External Bank Reconciliation window.
The Process External Bank Reconciliation only allows deletions AFTER the
last record that has a reconciled number. If try to delete anything
above the last reconciliation in the line you will get the message.
For more information about it please refer to note:791192
hope this can be helpful to some extend.
I also paste the information in note  791192 as below:
Symptom
Reassign payment entered and created to wrong incoming payment
Other terms
Reason and Prerequisites
Two A/R Invoices of different customers with the same amount. Incoming
Payment misdirected to A/R Invoice (and customer) via Process External
Bank Statement and Payment created by ticking check box "Create Payment"
Payment was also reconciled (External) with created payment.
Solution
1.  In Banking - Incoming Payments - Incoming Payments find the "wrong"
    payment created by Process External Bank Statement and Cancel it
    (Menu bar: Data - Cancel).
2.  In Banking - Bank Statements and Reconciliations - Reconciliation
    set Business Partner choose "Internal" Reconciliation Type and
    reconcile Incoming Payment with his Reverse Entry (both on Open
    Transactions on Credit Side).
3.  In Banking - Bank Statements and Reconciliations - Manage Previous
    Reconciliatons choose "External" Reconciliation Type For G/L Account
    and Cancel Reconciliation of entered and corresponding created
    payment.After choosing required account in Banking - Bank Statements
    and Reconciliations - Process External Bank Statement can be
    observed, that asterisk from "Reconciled" field disappeared, but
      data in fields "Create Payment", "Doc. No.", "BP Code", "BP Name"
      and following are unchanged and greyed.
  Now they are two ways to follow:
     A)
      a) In Banking - Incoming Payments - Incoming Payments create
         manually incoming payment of new Business Partner and Invoice.
      b) In Banking - Bank Statements and Reconciliations - Reconciliation
         set Business Partner choose "External" Reconciliation Type and
         reconcile Incoming Payment with entered (in point 3 unreconciled)
         payment.
  Note that data in fields "Create Payment", "Doc. No.", "BP Code", "BP
  Name" following in Process External Bank Statement grid remain
  incorrect.
     B)
      c) Delete (Menu bar: Data - Remove or Delete Row) row which contains
         misdirected payment.
      d) Add new row containing correct data (new BP code and Doc. No.)
         and create Payment by ticking check box "Create Payment".
      e) In Banking - Bank Statements and Reconciliations - Reconciliation
         set Business Partner choose "External" Reconciliation Type and
         reconcile newly created Incoming Payment with corresponding
         entered payment.
  Note that deleting and adding row in Process External Bank Statement
  grid allowed if actual row is followed by not reconciled entered payment
  (without asterisk in "Reconciled" field). If necessary, you can cancel
  these reconciliations provisionally.
Wish the information above is useful for you .
