correcting a reconciled Bill Payment check

the owner took a loan out with American Express and didn't tell me.  When a payment was showing on the bank reconciliation to American Express I posted it against the credit card statement as usual and closed the reconciliation.  I have since learned of the loan and found that the reconciled payment was applied to the loan and not the credit card account.  How do I go back and reapply that payment to a different account after it is reconciled already?  Thanks!

correcting a reconciled Bill Payment check

It's nice to see you here in the Community, @kathy303

 

Let's undo the reconciled payment so you'll be able to reapply it to the correct credit card account. 

 

Though you've already located the discrepancy of your previous reconciliation, I'd first suggest running any of these reports to serve as your future reference. 

 

 

Then, you'll need to create a backup of your company file since undoing a previous reconciliation is irreversible. Here's how to undo it: 

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu at the top.
  2. Select Reconcile.
  3. In the Begin Reconciliation window, select the account and statement date. 
  4. Choose Undo Last Reconciliation.
  5. When prompted, select Continue then OK.
  6. Close and reopen the Begin Reconciliation window.

 

Once you're done, you'll have to reclassify the payment from the loan to the correct credit card account. 

 

After that, you'll need to unreconcile each month until you'll get the one where the reconciled transaction is.
