Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 - Bank Reconciliation - Reconciled Transaction Maintenance

On the Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog, Lucas Reuss stated that a new feature has been added in Dynamics GP 2016 R2 to help customers that use Bank Reconciliation a great deal or have been using Dynamics GP with Bank Reconciliation for a long time. 

The new feature is the addition of the Reconciled Transaction Maintenance process. The goal for this additional Bank Reconciliation routine is to enhance the performance for various Bank Reconciliation processes after the bulk of the reconciled transactions have been moved to history, according to Reuss.

This new window will allow users to move transactions that have been reconciled in the Reconcile Bank Statement window to the newly created History tables for Bank Reconciliation. 

You can find the link for the newly created window under the Financial Routines Navigation Pane in Dynamics GP 2016 R2. It will be labeled as Reconciled Transaction Maintenance.
