Changing the account / category after reconciliation

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:

1. Highlight the Accounting tab, then select Chart of Accounts. 
2. Locate the account in question, then click to view it. 
3. Tap on a reconciled transaction that you want to undo.
4. Under the Check column, click R until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
5. Repeat the steps above for other transactions.
6. Hit Save when done.

Two questions:

• What can you change after reconciliation?
• By Account you mean the category is that right? 

I'll share information about reconciliation process in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Sarah.

For your first concern after reconciliation, you can still change the amount and the account on any given transaction. Please know that if you make sudden changes, it will cause discrepancies in your reconciliation.

Please see this prompt message if you make changes to your reconciled transaction.

Also, you'll receive this prompt message once you close your books indicating making changes will impact financial accuracy.

For your second question, yes, the account refers to the category under which a transaction is classified. When you change the category of a transaction, you are essentially changing its account.
