Weekly Dynamic: Bank Reconcile Grace Period

When you start to process a bank reconciliation, Dynamics GP 10 will ask you if you want to want process the reconciliation with an 8 day grace period. The idea is that even though you selected a a cutoff date, sometimes mis-dated a transaction will have cleared the bank and you'll need it to properly reconcile, even though the transaction is past the cutoff date. Changing the cut off date to find these items then puts the wrong cut off date on your reconciliation reports so this functionality provides a better way.

If you select "No" indicating that you don't want to use an 8 day grace period, a box opens allowing the user to change the length of the grace period. Unfortunately, there is no setting to change the default 8 day grace period. If you don't like 8 days as your grace period you'll have to change it every time.
