Undoing reconciliation

Hi colson,

You'll need an accountant to Undo your reconciliations without going through each line. This option is only available in their QuickBooks Online Accountant account.

To invite an accountant, just go to My Accountant, enter their email address and click Invite.

Please let us know if you need more help.

Hi, I am trying to reconcile a client's books starting June of 2020 but the previous accountant never did a reconciliation for the first 5 months nor for previous years.  1) Can I undo the "R" that was manually entered for the 1st 5months in one batch using QBOA? or  2)  Do  reconciliation for June and create adjusting entry  for the difference in order to get correct ending balance as of June 30, 2020?  

Hi Johnson.

Yes, you can undo the "R" status at once with QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA). I'll show you how.

1. Sign in to your QBOA account.
2. Find and open your client's QuickBooks Online company.
   1. Go to the Accounting menu.
   2. Select the Reconcile tab.
   3. Click on the History by account link.
   4. Choose the account you want to reconcile and the date range from the dropdowns.
   5. Find the reconciliation on the list.
   6. Tap View report to open the Reconciliation Report.
   7. Review any discrepancies and changes your client wants to make.
   8. When you’re ready, hit the dropdown arrow in the Action column, and then click Undo.
   9. Hit Yes to confirm the action, then Undo.

On the other hand, skipping the reconciliation to June 2020 can lead to discrepancies and unmatch balances. Thus, I recommend doing the process from the start. For an additional guide, here's how you can reconcile an account in QBO.
