I’ll help you clear these out, Bryan Taylor.
 

Let's go back to the bank register and add the column so we can change the status of the transactions. Here's how:

1. Go to Accounting from the left menu and then, select Chart of Accounts.
2. Locate your account.
3. Select View register from the Action column.
4. Click the small Gear icon in the upper-right hand corner, then check the box for Reconcile and Banking status.

With regards to step 2, yes, you're correct we'll need to make sure that you've selected the vendor Payee Dropdown in the column/field. This way, it will show up upon linking the vendor's transaction.

For your reference, we can also check out this article for further guidance: How to unreconciled a transaction or undo a reconciliation.
