The Payment Recon Journal is great, except for the "Post Payments and Reconcile Bank Account" function. Reason being that you can't specify the Statement Date nor the Statement No. Therefore when you look at your list of Bank Acc Statements, the Statement Date nor the Statement No are blank, which is not very useful. For this reason I do not use this, rather I post it first, then go and do the bank rec.

Suggestion that when you execute the "Post Payments and Reconcile Bank Account" function, that it defaults the Statement Date to the latest date in the payment recon journal, but allows you to change it. Same with the statement no - default it to the next number by looking at the last statement posted, and allow you to change it.
