Yes, we have a way to correct your financial data in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), KFisch. I'm here to help you with the process.
The first option is to manually edit the account of your checks by opening each of them from the wrong bank's register. Here's how:
- Go to the Banking menu, then select Use Register.
- From the drop-down, choose the (wrong) account you used to write the checks.
- In the Bank Register, locate and select the check.
- Select the Edit Transaction option above.
- in the Write Checks window, correct the account used in the Bank Account section.
Another option is to perform a bank transfer. Given that the checks have already cleared to the wrong account, we can issue a check from the correct account to the wrong one to restore the balance. This will ensure that your balance during reconciliation has no discrepancies for that specific period and matches your statement.
Additionally, we'd encourage you to reconcile your accounts regularly (monthly) to keep your financial data accurate. I've also included this article to guide you anytime you need help doing or fixing a reconciliation in QBDT: The reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.
