Let me guide you in fixing your reconciliation discrepancy, @kelliek1.
Deleted transactions change the ending balance of your last reconciliation, which affects the beginning balance of the next one.
Since you already checked the discrepancy report and found out that there's a deleted transaction, then we can use this to recreate it exactly as how it is reflected on the report. Here's how:
- Click +New.
- Select Expenses.
- Fill out the form and click Save and close.
- Hit the Gear icon, choose Chart of Accounts.
- Find the account that you placed the transaction into and click View register.
- Look for the expense transaction and click it, then hit the box under the checkmark column until an "R" shows up. This will manually reconcile it.
- Hit Save.
Additionally, if you are still prompted when you reconcile, open the discrepancy report and check. The deleted transaction may still show up, but the difference should be $0.00 already. Click Resume reconciling to continue your reconciliation.
If your beginning balance is already accurate, start reconciling.
You can also undo or remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online. This will help you whenever you make a mistake when reconciling. However, keep in mind that this will unbalance your accounts, so you can only do this one transaction at a time.
Let us know if you have further questions about fixing the discrepancy in your reconciliation. We are always here to help. Take care!
