Hi, I have reconciled my January accounts but now notice that I have posted one transaction to the wrong category. The amount is fine, I just need to change the category (from Payroll expense to Payroll liability) but I don't want to mess up the reconciliation.
Can I amend this through the chart of accountant, open up the transaction and change the category or will this mess-up the reconciliation?
Sorry - I'm new to book keeping and just learning as I go.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Welcome to Community, @Ruth-miles.
I have some information about changing a reconciled transaction. You can edit a reconciled transaction as long as you're not changing the amount and the account. These two factors will have an impact on your beginning balance.

In my case, several transactions were changed by account AFTER reconciliation. Now, I'm unable to proceed with reconciliations until this is corrected. What is the cleanest, most accurate way of doing this? I would like to avoid having to undo/redo the reconciliation since the "undo" feature is not available to my version of QBO, but if that's the only way, I'll certainly get it done; just hoping for an easier fix! **fingers crossed**
Thank you for joining the thread, @melis52. I'll help out with your queries about reconciliation in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The option to undo a whole reconciliation period in QBO is an exclusive feature for accountant users with QBO Accountant. You can invite this type of user as an accountant to your company, and they can assist with your reconciliation issues.
If you don't know any QBO Accountant users or you're not sure where to find one, view this page: Find a ProAdvisor. These are QuickBooks-certified accountants, so you can be sure that your books are done right.
The other option available for you is to undo the reconciliation by hand. It means you'll have to go through each reconciled transaction from the register in question.
Here's how:
Check out this article for additional information about this process: Undo or remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.
