Reclassifying Old Transactions

I find that QBO does not let me reclassify transactions that are back-dated a little bit too long ago.  This is very frustrating as i need to reclassify transactions (using the Accountants Tool) made since 2016, however, transactions earlier than mid-2019 do are not displayed at all, even though they are in the system and can be accessed via the Chart of Accounts or Report Section.

 

Can you anyone assist with this please?

 

Kind Regards

Martin

Reclassifying Old Transactions

Hi, Martin Markovits.

 

You can use the reclassify tool to move transactions to similar accounts or change their class. Let me guide you with the steps.

  1. Open your client’s QuickBooks Online company. Select the Accountant Tools (briefcase) icon. Then, select Reclassify Transactions.
  2. From the Account types drop-down menu, select Profit and Loss to see income and expense accounts. Or select Balance Sheet to see your asset, liability, and equity accounts.
  3. From the Account list, select the account with the transactions you want to change.
  4. Use these filters:
    • Type: Filter by transaction type.
    • Class: Filter by transactions under a Class or no class. If it’s not available, turn on class tracking.
    • Customer/supplier: Filter for a specific customer or supplier.
    • Modify: Filter by transactions that you can modify.
    • GST: Filter for tax amounts.
  5. Select Find Transactions.
  6. Select the box for each transaction you want to change. Then select Reclassify.
  7. Select a new account to move the transactions to, or a new class from the drop-downs.
  8. When you’re ready, select Apply.

Also, you can create a rule to filter specific transactions that you need to reclassify by a certain date.
