Past Reconciliation Adjustment

Hi there, wmobrien,

I'm glad to help correct the reconciled account on 12/31/19.

Let's start by deleting the adjustment entry so you won't see it on the next reconciliation. To do so, you'll want to run the Transaction List by Date report and delete it from there. This report lists all transactions with Reconcile Adjustment in the Memo field within the specified date range.

Here's how:

1. Go to Reports from the left navigation bar.
2. Open Transaction List by Date.
3. In the Report period fields, select the appropriate time frame or set custom dates.
4. Click Customize, then go to the Filter option.
5. Mark the Memo checkbox and enter Reconcile Adjustment in the field.
6. Click Run report.
7. Locate and delete the entry.

Once done, enter a check through the register and make sure the date is under the 12/31/19 statement. This is to ensure you have a correct balance on your register.

I'm glad to walk you through the steps:

1. Go to Accounting from the left navigation bar, then pick Chart of Accounts.
2. Find the reconciled account, then click View register under Action.
3. Click the Add icon, then select Check.
   
4. Enter the actual date, then complete other fields.
5. Click the check column until you see an "R", then hit Save.

Hi MaryLandT -

Thanks for the instructions.  I am, however, having trouble in step 7 of deleting the adjustment. When I try to delete the adjustment entry (either by clicking the trash can or the "Clear all lines" button), I get an error message when I try to save and close the window.  The error message says, " ! Something's not quite right  Please enter at least one line item."

I can send you a screen shot if that helps you diagnose the issue.  Thanks.

Thank you for getting back to us here on the Community page, @wmobrien.

You'll receive this error if you've clicked on the Delete icon beside the Reconciliation Discrepancies line item. To delete the adjustment successfully, select Delete from the More button.

This screenshot shows you the visual reference.

Get back to me if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help. Have a good day!
