The concerns end here, @accounting-modmy. Here are some things you can perform to get your bank account reconciled.

 

Before we start, may I know if you're trying to reconcile a sub-account? If you have sub-accounts connected to your parent bank account, this will result in an error when reconciling the account. 

 

In the meantime, let's perform some troubleshooting steps to get rid of the error. It's possible that the browser stores frequently accessed data, thus causing websites, like QuickBooks Online (QBO), to act weirdly. Let's try logging into your QBO account using the private browser.

 

Here's how:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N on your keyboard for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox
  • Press Command + Shift + N for Safari

If this works, it means that you need to clear the browser's cache so the system can start fresh. 

 

If they get the same result while using a private browser, I recommend switching to a different one.

I have exactly the same problem. BUT clearing the cache did not solve it. 

30 days the bank feed was mistakenly turned off...but turned on 4 days later. It is still on and connected just fine. 

The error in 'Accounting', 'Reconcile' is: Connected accounts are easier to reconcile: Connect Now

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Try open your QBO account on incognito/private browser and redo the process. If the same error persists and your bank supports SlickConnect, utilize the trial period of it to isolate the issue.
