Hello, @ebonorden.

Allow me to step in and help share additional information about posting the new check to the clearing account. 

The clearing account is only a temporary account to hold the money when you can't move it directly. This account should be zeroed out since you'll always take out the same amount that you put in.

It may correct the reconciliation but you'll need to transfer it to another account to ensure your accounts are balanced.

If you need help with anything or if you have additional questions about clearing account, please don't hesitate to reach out again. I'm always here to help.
