Question

Reconciliation

  • September 13, 2021

I inadvertently deleted a transfer that had already been reconciled in July.  In the past I was able to re-do a reconciliation by unchecking all of that months transactions.  Quickbooks would then forget about the problematic reconciliation because I was able to create a corrected reconciliation.

 

The only difference between then and now is that we are connected to our bank.

 

I have uncleared all of the July transactions and Quickbooks will not delete the previous corrupted July reconciliation.  I have opened and closed QB.  But it won't delete the corrupted reconciliation.

 

What to do?

You have a similar situation as I do. I had this one transaction that reconciled normally back in July of 2020. I went on through reconciling to the end of the year. Everything balanced and all was good for the end of year P&L report to the cpa tax person.

 

Start 2021 reconciling. January went smoothly but somewhere along the way after that point, this July 2020 transaction pops up as unreconciled. Now how did that happen I wonder? Several changes later and it's still there and unreconciled. The QB support suggestions were great and all but I had done all that was suggested and nothing has worked. Only one thing remains that I am not sure if I tried or not, a 'reconciliation adjustment'. I think I tried that but somehow I could not get it to post correctly and it caused an out of balance error in the account. I'm going to try this again and see what happens just to be sure. The last thing I may have to do is schedule an appointment with my cpa tax person and see if he can help me out.

 

Good luck to you and I hope you get it figure out soon!

Thanks for visiting the Community today. I'm here to help ensure you're able to fix your reconciled transactions with QuickBooks, JKrener.

 

I'd suggest you recreate the transactions under the same account where it was previously reconciled and you'll have to manually tag them as reconciled so you won't have any issues next time you do a reconciliation.

  1. After recreating the transaction, click Accounting on the left menu.
  2. Go to the Chart of Accounts tab.
  3. Click View register and look for the recreated transaction.
  4. Under the Reconcile (✓) column, click on the blank field to mark the transactions as reconciled (R).
  5. Click Save and select Yes to confirm the action.

For more insights, I'm adding the article I recommend on this to scroll down to Manually clear, unclear, reconcile or unreconciled individual transactions:  How to unreconciled a transaction or undo a reconciliation.

 

Here are some articles that can guide you more on how to resolve reconciliation discrepancies:

You say to 'recreate' them. I currently have this transaction standing uncleared, unreconciled, unchecked at the moment. Are you saying to check it as reconciled? Won't this affect the beginning balance of the next reconcile period? I think I have gone round and round with doing this. Even deleting the transaction and adding it back and changing from one thing to the other. I'm left scratching my head again with this and cannot move forward.
