How to delete or void a transfer of funds between accounts

I mistakenly did a funds transfer from Undeposited Funds to our bank account. I want to delete or void it, but I am getting this message... "You need to delete this entry from the deposit before you can delete the transaction itself, or edit its name or amount" Only it does not show up in my deposits. I can find the transactions in my Transaction Detail by Account, but I get the same message. How do I fix this?

Tried that, but it tells me....that I have to delete it from the deposit first, but it's not showing up in the deposits.

I can help you locate that deposit and assist you with deleting it in QuickBooks Desktop, @Michellely.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu, then click Chart of Accounts.
  2. Double-click the account, then double-click the deposit.
  3. Delete a specific payment by selecting it from the list.
  4. Click the Edit tab, then select Delete Line.
  5. Select Delete Deposit if you want to delete the entire deposit.

How to delete or void a transfer of funds between accounts

can I delete transfers from closed periods?

Absolutely, you can, lllobue.

 

The program enables you to enter or delete transactions that impact the balance of the closed fiscal year. However, it will either advise against it or prompt for the closing date password if one was set up.

 

Because of this, we highly recommend seeking advice from your accountant for further guidance on this matter.

 

To proceed or save the changes, simply input the password that you set when you closed the period.


In case you have forgotten the password, you can edit it by following these steps:

 

  1. Make sure you are logged in as the Admin.
  2. Go to the Company menu and select Set Clos​​ing Date.
  3. Click the Show link beside the current password to know what the existing password is.
  4. Type in a new password in the Closing Date Password field, then confirm it.
  5. You can also keep the existing one if you choose to.
  6. Select OK.

 

Once done, you can now proceed to the deleting the transfer. 

 

If you need to recreate the transaction, consider performing a mini reconciliation to ensure it does not appear as "unreconciled". Let me share this article as a guide: Reconcile Previously Deleted and Re-entered Checking or Credit Card Transactions.
