To add further "fun" to this - since I have many months of accepting and reconciling the parts versus the whole (2 small trx versus one large payroll check) - can I simple manually "unreconcile" the small trx - exclude  - then add the whole transaction to the register - what will this do to my bank rec?  I can experiment with one month and see......any thoughts?  Perhaps I need to match the large to the 2 small before I exclude the 2 small.
