How to change deposit to a transfer in reconciled account?

Please help! I have two accounts. Account A moved money to account B. Two cash accounts. When moved from account A at the time did not match correctly to account B. It was recorded as owners draw . However in account B where it did match just not done properly it says Deposit (not transfer) account A. This was from January. All accounts are reconciled. How to I adjust owners draw down and have it match the transfer so it’s not effecting anything? I understand the Journal entry but I don’t understand how to adjust the deposit to a transfer so they match in account money was deposited into.

How to change deposit to a transfer in reconciled account?

I can help you with updating or adjusting a deposit to a transfer, @popupbookkeeping.

 

Please take note that bank transfer won't affect your Owner's Equity account. It will only have an impact on your bank accounts. Also, changing anything other than the amount and the account on any given transaction won't change its reconciliation status.

 

You may consider deleting and recreating that transaction. Here's how to record a new transfer:

 

  1. Go to the + New button and select Transfer.
  2. From the Transfer Funds From dropdown list, select the bank account that the money is coming from.
  3. From the Transfer Funds To dropdown list, select the bank account that the money is going to.
  4. Provide all the necessary information. 
  5. Select Save and close or Save and new to complete the transfer.

 

Here's more information about recording a transfer: Transfer funds between accounts.

 

After deleting and recreating the transaction, you'll have to manually tag them as reconciled so you won't have any issues with your account balance the next time you do a reconciliation. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Chart of Accounts tab and search for the correct account of the transaction in question.
  2. From the Action column, select  View register.
  3. Locate the transaction to edit.
  4. In the reconcile status column (indicated by a check mark), repeatedly select the top line of the transaction to change the status of the transaction.
    • - Cleared from the bank
    • - Reconciled
    • Blank - Not cleared or reconciled
