If the current client is not using any of the payroll modules, then you will need to enter the client's checkbook information in this dialog. If the current client is using one of the payroll modules, you can add or update checkbooks by using the Setup > Checkbook dialog.
To select a checkbook for reconciliation (if there are more than one), simply choose to Reconcile, and a dialog will appear listing the available checkbooks.
From the Tasks menu, point to Bank Reconciliation, and then choose Account Setup.
Note: If a checkbook is added after transactions have already been entered in the Tasks > Transaction Entry window, the first time you access the Bank Reconciliation window for that checkbook you must choose the Rebuild Uncleared Transactions command from the Edit menu or from the F3 or right-click context menu.
