In my bank register, I 'unmatched" a received payment transaction. The transaction is older than 180 days. QBO will NOT re-match the transaction. Now the transaction shows up as needing to be "reviewed" and I have the option to "add" the transaction. I know the transaction is entered and exists in my QBO entries so I can't add it. I have searched the community for solutions and none of them have worked. It appears I may have to use the "exclude" function to keep the transaction from showing up as an unmatched transaction. It was mentioned to use the exclude option with caution so I am nervous about going that route. I would prefer to have the ability to manually "match" the transaction just the same as you can manually 'reconcile' a transaction. How do I "re-match" the transaction so it doesn't show up as having to be reviewed? Hope this made sense.
You can use the find other matches option from the bank feeds, @TXFlipo. Let me walk you through the process below.
Since this transaction was previously matched to a recorded entry, I assume it was posted to the correct bank account and is not matched to another transaction. If that is the case, you can follow these steps to match your bank transaction for that specific entry:

Kevin_C,
Thanks so much for you reply and assistance with this matter. However, your instructions and screen shots did not exactly match my version of QBO. Steps 1 – 3 were fine. My screen matches what you show for step 3. However, at step 4, my screen is totally different from the one you provided above. I do NOT have a “Suggested Matches” button. This is what my screen looks like after I select the “Match” button:
As you can see, no match was found. The dates shown in the above cover the period of the $1738.50 transaction (11/17/2023) but as you can see there is no match. It’s as if QBO is not looking back that far in the transaction history. I have seen multiple mentions if the transaction is older than 180 days, QBO will not find the match. Why is it I can manually mark or unmark a transaction as being reconciled but I can’t do the same with an onIine banking match. I need to get this re-matched so the transaction does not show up as having to be “reviewed”.
Thank you for the updates, TXFlipo. Even if a transaction is older than 180 days, you can still match them. However, you’ll need to manually locate them in your transactions. Allow me to provide additional details to assist you in the matching process.
Given that the dates and amounts match the specified period, there are a few reasons why we can’t find their match in your existing records:
If you're still unable to find a match, you can choose to Exclude the transaction. This will remove from the For Review tab without affecting your books. When you exclude, it doesn’t appear in any account registers or financial reports.
Here's how:
The transaction moves to the Excluded tab of the Banking page. For more details, open this link: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.
Once done, you'll want to reconcile your bank account. Reconciling gives you insight into your business and QuickBooks process as easy as possible.

Hello JoesemM,
In your list of reasons why a match may not be found, the only one which might apply is the "Verify that the transaction has not been reconciled". In my QBO bank register the transaction IS marked with an "R" so it has been reconciled. I know you can manually remove the "R" from the bank transaction. If I remove the 'R" do you think that will allow QBO to find the match?
