How can I undo the entire bank reconciliation for a specific period?

walton123 · ‎July 26, 2021

I know how to change a transaction after it has been reconciled. However, I read that I can only undo a bank reconciliation for a specific period by using online account accountant, which I don't have. Is that correct, and if so, how can I undo the reconciliation?

I'd be glad to assist you with your bank reconciliation, @walton123.

Yes, the Undo option for a reconciled period is only available in QuickBooks Online Accountant. You'll want to invite your accountant to your company, and let them undo the reconciliation period at once.

Once done, follow the steps found in this article to undo a client's reconciliation.

Otherwise, you'll have to unreconcile a transaction manually. Here's how:

Go to Accounting, and then choose Chart of Accounts.
Find the account holding the transaction, and then tap View register.
Select the transaction you want to unreconcile to expand the view.
Review the check column. If the transaction is reconciled, you’ll see an “R.”
Tick the checkbox. This changes the letter in the box. Keep selecting it until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
Click Save.

I am the accountant. How to undo a reconciliation without doing it one transaction at a time. So frustrating.

I'd like to share some insights about handling reconciliation in QuickBooks Online, @meganohearn.

Editing earlier reconciliations require extra care. Undoing a reconciliation also undoes all following reconciliations follow. When you undo a reconciliation, you'll have to make sure that you're logged in to your account using the QuickBooks Online Accountant. Then, you'll have to locate and open your customer's QBO company.

Once logged in:

1. Open the Accounting menu.

2. Click on the Reconcile tab.

3. Choose History by account.

4. Choose the account you want to reconcile and the date range from the dropdowns.

5. Locate the reconciliation on the list.

6. Choose View report to navigate to the Reconciliation Report.

7. Review any discrepancies and changes your client wants to make.

8. Once ready, select the dropdown ▼ in the Action column, and then hit Undo.

9. Click on Yes and then hit Undo to confirm.

Loop me in for additional banking concerns. It's my pleasure to be of help. Take the best care!
