Transaction deleted after bank reconciled

Megan88 · ‎September 05, 2019

Hi

I had a supplier payment in my bank feed but no invoices to match it to, so i added the transaction as a cheque to the supplier's account and reconciled the bank.

My problem is that when adding as a cheque, the category was set to 'uncategorised expense' so the supplier balance was not showing as being in credit. I deleted the cheque from supplier account and it went back to my bank feed. I added again as a cheque but this time chose the category 'creditors' which fixed the balance on the supplier account.

Now I can't start my next bank reconciliation because the beginning balance is out by the value of this transaction.

I have seen a lot of posts about re-creating the transaction but I can see the transaction on the supplier's account so I don't think I need to do this? And I can locate it within the chart of accounts under creditors but there is no option to reconcile it.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

Hello Megan88,

You will need to add that transaction back into your previous reconcile. To do this, go to Reconcile > History by account and take note of the ending balance and ending date of the last time you reconciled. Go back to Reconcile and enter this previous ending balance and date then Start reconciling. The transaction you recreated should show on this page for you to tick, and the difference should be 0. Select Finish now - you will now be able to reconcile the next period as normal.

Thanks,

Talia

Hi Talial

Thank you for your reply.

It turns out I was looking in the wrong place for the transaction.

I was looking for it in Chart of Accounts - Creditors where it didn't have the option to reconcile, instead of looking for in Chart of Account under the bank account history, so I have just changed the status to reconciled and it appears to have worked.

Thank you for your help
