How to edit an incorrect check amount in the reconciliation detail that does not match the actual check amount as shown in the account activity

Hello there, Sue.

I'd be glad to route you to edit an incorrect check amount in your Reconciliation Detail report in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

You can double-click the amount of your incorrect check to route you to the actual check and then edit the amount of your check. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu. 
2. Select Banking, and click Previous Reconciliation Report.
3. In the type of report, select the Detail and then click Display.
4. Locate the incorrect check amount through the report, and then double-click the amount.
5. In the Dollar sign or amount field, enter the correct amount of the check.
6. Select Save and Close.

Once done, check your reconciliation again and verify if the amount changed. However, if it still doesn't match after editing the amount you can use the Verify and Rebuild data. This way, we'll be able to identify and resolve the most commonly known data issues. Also, it's safe to use the verify and rebuild data as it won't affect your data. Just ensure to secure a backup company file if you ever run into issues.

I'll also add this article to guide you in customizing any report that you want to generate: Customize reports.

Stay in touch with me if there's anything else I can help you with editing your incorrect check amount in QuickBooks. I'll be right here to provide the information that you need.
