Just getting into using Bank Rec posting to G/L. Goal is to eliminate the 2 step process of using GJE + B/R entry to record things like Interest Income. Another goal is to get the Controller, who will be retiring soon off Excel bank recs. The plan: Enter all bank statement txns into B/R & post to G/L. They have 9 bank accounts, but only 2 of them are reconciled in MAS 90 (4.5.5) today. I'm thinking - record all the entries into Chk/Dep/Adj Entry. Then run the B/R Trans Register once to update all of them. Nope. Have to run for 1 bank code at a time. Shoots down the productivity enhancement aspect I was hoping for. Just sharing.

Wait - I'm wrong! When you print the B/R Trans Register, leave the Bank Code field blank, and Voila!

Did you not use transaction journal entries before the ability to post from BR to GL??

Not if we can avoid it. Our methodology is to train users to use AR or AP (and now BR) for posting transactions to the bank accounts to take advantage of reporting in the subsidiary modules and have fewer processes to learn.

I agree with @BarbaraGoldstein, I personally feel (and try to train users) to use AR and AP to post these transactions for the reporting. IMHO, it is also easier to process these transaction via the ""routine"" of AP and AR than to jam it all into BR at the end of the month. But these habits are hard to form (or break).
