If transactions are deleted without undoing the reconciliation first, how can I fix this this to re-enter and re-reconcile?

When I re-enter transactions and go to reconcile again, the beginning balance is no longer zero but shows the ending balance from the last reconciliation done before I did all the deleting. How do I undo the reconciliations of the deleted transactions?

Thank you for reaching out to the Community, pmerrill03. The reason the beginning balance shows a discrepancy is that the recreated transactions have not been marked as reconciled yet. By marking the transaction as reconciled, it will correct your reconciliation beginning balance.

 

Here’s how to manually reconcile the transaction:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the top corner of the screen.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Locate and select the relevant account, then click View Register.
  4. Identify the transactions you’d like to reconcile.
  5. Change the status to (R) by clicking on it repeatedly.
  6. Click Save, and confirm the change by selecting Yes.

 

Since you have already recreated the transactions, there's no need to undo the reconciliations. It's a good idea to talk to your accountant before making any changes. This will help keep your records accurate and ensure the changes align with your financial processes.
