Using QB Desktop Pro 2020. I use bank feeds to auto match my bank transactions. I had to leave the reconciliation and now when I select "matched" in the recon, nothing happens. All the lightning bolts are gone from all the matched items. How do I re-trigger the matching so I don't have to manually match each item on the bank statement?

Good day, JamieW1.

I'd like to welcome you to the QuickBooks Community.

We can match the downloaded bank transactions by going to the Banking menu. Then, click Bank Feeds and then select the Bank Feeds Center.

Here's the link on how to add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

We can perform some troubleshooting steps if you're unable to match them. Go first to the Window menu then select Close All. Once done, you can follow these steps:

From the File, select Utilities.
Click Verify Data and wait for it to load.
Go back to the File menu, Utilities then Rebuild Data.

Also, make sure to keep your QuickBooks Desktop updated. Please check these articles for more details:

Please post again here if you have more questions. Stay safe!

I tried all of these steps. My QB is always up to date, but I also double checked that. Still nothing happens when I try to selected "matched" in the reconciliation. It just sits there and cannot match the transactions. This happens any time you do not complete the recon the very first time you match if you leave the recon and come back to it. It automatically clears all the matched items and you cannot match them again.

I'd appreciate if you can update me on how it goes or if you have any questions. I want to make sure this gets resolved.

I have the same question. Sometimes, the bank is a day or two late when they post your bank statement online. When you run a matched transaction to reconcile, sometimes it will match a transaction with a lighting bolt for a check that got cashed after the statement but the check was dated before the end of the statement.

How do you re-enable those lightning bolt matches so that when we go to reconcile the next month, it will be matched vs trying to manually find that check again?
