editing a reconcilled deposit

I have a deposit with multiple checks in it that has already been reconciled. I want to change the "received from" on one of the checks. How can I do this?  also how do I prevent messing up the reconciliation or how do I get it back to reconciled status one I make the change?

Yes, you can change the received from field on your check, @Erika L. I'll share some steps to ensure that you're able to make any changes to your reconciled transactions.

 

You can look for the reconciled deposit under the Register section. From there, you can then change the entry to the correct customer. Keep in mind that you can edit anytime as long as the Date, Bank account, Amount and Reconcile status remain the same. This won’t cause any discrepancies either.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. On the left pane, go to the Accounting menu.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Look for the correct account of the transaction in question.
  4. From the Action column, select View register.
  5. Locate the reconciled deposit and click Edit.
  6. From the Bank deposit page, edit the received from field to select the correct customer.
  7. Tap Save and close.

Since you're trying to edit a reconciled deposit, you'll be warned that your modifications can result in an out-of-balance the next time you reconcile. With that, I'd recommend reaching out to your accountant to find out the best action when editing reconciled transactions.

 

Additionally, you can also find, review, and edit transactions in account registers.

I want to make sure your reconciled deposit concern is fully addressed. Kindly drop me a line if you have any other transaction concerns. I'll be sure to get back to you. Keep safe!

Thank you for your reply. I had seen these instructions in answer to someone else's similar question. I had tried them and it kept insisting I had to undo the original deposit and to make the edit. This was where my trepidation lay as far as screwing up my reconciliation. I did find the article you referenced helpful.

I took the leap, undid the transaction, made the edit, and then followed the instructions to re-reconcile it. It seems to have worked, I am hopeful there are no repercussions later.

 

Thank you for your support.
