If they are in a different column they will be added or subtracted incorrectly, making the ballance different.

Think about this:  When you write a check for a bill, you put it in the register and mail it off.  Lets say you do all your bills this way.  Then you buy some things at a store and write a check for it, and it is in the register below the bills.  Then, a couple weeks later you check the ballance to make sure all the bills got paid, and they did, so your register and bank ballance are the same, but what will be different about how things cleared and what will that do?
