Checking account reconciliation, not seeing "R" transactions in the month being reconciled.

Hello there, @Janfromearth1.

Are you trying to change the status of the reconciled transaction? You can actually edit your QuickBooks Online transaction status manually.

Here's how:

1. Go to Accounting, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Look for the account and select View register. 
3. Select the transaction you want to unreconciled.
4. Review the check column. If the transaction is reconciled, you’ll see an “R.”
5. Select the box and keep clicking it until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
6. Once done click Save.

Your answer is spot on for the solution to fixing the issue. 

My question was how the "R" occured in the first place and why it does not show up when the filter in the reconciliation process clearly says all statuses.   

HMM So the filter is only looking for cleared and uncleared which is what I am seeing and if they manually put an 'R' in the cleared field outside of the reconciliation process it will not be affected if I reverse the reconciliation?  

Thanks for the reply, Janfromearth1.

You don't need to reconcile them again if they are reconciled already.

If you'll undo or unreconciled the transactions, then you'll have to reconcile them back. They will appear back to the reconciliation page. 

Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks!

Actually, what I wanted to do was to mark them all as cleared.  If they do not show up in the reconciliation screen, I can';t do that. Thanks anyway
