Back rec discrepancy due to a change in deposit from a closed period

A discrepancy was found while doing my monthly bank rec. I know the who, what, when, where, and why.  I have found multiple articles on how to undo prior month bank rec. However, I do not want to undo the rec from last mo. I need to undo a rec from 3 mos ago. So do I have to undo every month just to get back to April?

 i.e...Current month is August, the discrepancy occurred when someone deleted a deposit posted April 12 only to reenter it for April 25th (a closed period) and they did this on August 2nd. 

Any

Back rec discrepancy due to a change in deposit from a closed period

Thank you for sharing your concern here in the Community, CSM-T. I'm here to help you resolve the reconciliation issue in QuickBooks.

 

To correct a previous reconciliation in QuickBooks Desktop, you can use a special method that involves an "off-cycle" reconciliation date and assumes you know the ending balance from the most recent reconciliation. Before you begin, make sure you have this information.

 

Additionally, I recommend reaching out to your accountant before making any changes, so they can provide professional advice and assurance that reconciliations are done correctly. If you don't have an accountant, you can use our accountant tool to find a nearby professional.

 

Here's how to fix transactions in a bank account:

 

  1. On the top menu, go to Banking.
  2. Select Reconcile, and then choose the bank account with the transactions you need to reconcile.
  3. In the Date of Statement field, enter a date for an "off-cycle reconciliation" that can be any time between your last reconciliation and the next scheduled one.
  4. In the Ending Balance field, enter the balance of the last successful reconciliation. Then, click Continue.
  5. Check off the transactions you are fixing and re-reconciling.
  6. Ensure that the Difference field shows $0.00.
  7. When everything looks good, press Reconcile Now.

 

For more detailed info, refer to this comprehensive article about the topic above: Reconcile previously deleted and re-entered checking or credit card transactions.

 

In case you want to get a previous reconciliation report, here's a guide on doing so to review your past reconciliations: Get reports for previous reconciliations in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'm just one post away if you have other banking-related concerns in QuickBooks Desktop, CSM-T. I'd be more than glad to lend you a helping hand.

Back rec discrepancy due to a change in deposit from a closed period

@CSM-T  RE: I do not want to undo the rec from last mo. I need to undo a rec from 3 mos ago. So do I have to undo every month just to get back to April?

 

Why do you want to do that?

 

It'd be must easier to just go forward and either do a special reconciliation for just that transaction or just include it in your next reconciliation, which will then balance - given that, as is usual, the rest of the month's detail is correct.
