Follow the steps below to delete a transfer and recreate it as an expense:
Delete a Transfer Transaction
From QuickBooks Online, navigate to the Accounting tab and the Chart of Accounts section.
Find the bank account holding the Transfer and select View Register.
Locate the Transfer in the transaction list below. If necessary, use the Filter (funnel icon) to narrow the list.
Make a note of the Date, Amount, and Accounts involved. Click the Transfer and select Delete.
Recreate the Transfer as an Expense
Click the Plus (+) icon and select Expense.
Select the same Date and Account (money-out) that were used in the transfer.
Choose an Expense account for the transaction, and assign the noted Amount.
Click Save and close.
We also offer a guide on deleting transactions that I'm sure you'll find helpful. I'm including a brief video demonstration of this process in which I delete a $500 Transfer and recreate it as an Expense below:
By following these instructions, you'll have that Transfer recreated as an Expense in no time. Please keep in touch with me here should you need any additional assistance, I'm always around to talk QuickBooks. Thanks for coming to the Community, cheers to great success in 2019.
If it's a transaction created from the Banking > For Review tab. Go to the Banking > For Review tab again. Switch tab from "For Review" to "In QuickBooks" tab. Locate the transaction in question, click UNDO.
Now go back to the "For Review" banking tab again, click the transaction row you want to switch from transfer to expense. You will see three radio buttons (Add, Match, Transfer). Select "ADD" radio button and categorize Expense account you want.
What if the month where the incorrect transfer transaction was already reconciled? Will I undo reconciliation and undo reviewed (delete), add again for review (create expense), whichever is possible, and then I will reconcile again? I am reviewing a financial statement and I found this error. Could it be adjustment be the best solution for this? Highly appreciate your better ideas/suggestion to solve my problem.
We're unable to make some adjustments since they're reconciled transactions. The only way is to undo the reconciled transactions, undo the downloaded transaction, review, and add it again. Then, reconcile them again.
