I need some serios help. I need to remove 3 months worth of reconsiliations. Please help me start my books over. How do I do this?

Hello and good day, bac4.

 

We do have two options on how to undo a reconciliation in QuickBooks Online. Here are the following:

  • If you have invited an accountant to your company, they can undo the entire reconciliation for you.
  • To do it on your own, you will have to manually edit each transaction in the bank register.

To undo the reconciliation manually, here's how:

 

  1. Go to Accounting > Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select the View register link of the account where the reconciled transactions are added.
  3. Filter the date and select the transaction to view the options. 
  4. Under the Reconcile Status (indicated by a check mark) column, click the letter R until it is blank. 
  5. Select Save.

 

Please see this sample screenshot:

 

 

 

I've got this article for reference: Undo and remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.

 

To start from scratch, you'll need to subscribe to a new company if your books are 60 days old or older. Here's an article for more details: Delete your data and start over in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'm just a post away if you need more help with QuickBooks Online. Take care!

I still do not have an opening balance for my reconciliation. The opening balance still says zero when I start my reconciliation.

I purged all my comp at data and started over. But now I do not have an opening balance for my reconciliation. It still says zero when I start.

Jumping in to share additional help, bac4.

 

The opening balance is the total amount of the recorded transactions in your account at the beginning of the statement period.

 

You can manually enter an opening balance amount since all transactions or data has been deleted when you purged your account. Follow the steps in this article on how to do it: Enter opening balances for accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

More details on how to resolve opening balance issues are laid out here:
