reconcile

I am in the process of reconciling. However, I am stuck at a particular month because before I select any deposits that are listed, 14 are already selected even though nothing is selected when I am looking at the entire month. Thus, when I complete the reconciliation, I am liking adding duplicate expenses.

How do I removed these deposits that are preselected before I start the reconcilation process?

I will share how reconciliation works in QuickBooks Online, Pman311.

 

All unreconciled transactions will show on the Reconcile page. You're unable to remove transactions, like deposits. 

 

Let's just ensure to select the transactions as shown on the bank statement to avoid discrepancies.

Hello.

Thanks for the input. However, I am still not clear on how to resolve my particular situation.

I am not trying to delete or remeove deposits. All the deposits and payments are accurate and accounted for. This should be a simple process of selecting all the transactions and it should be a zero difference.

 

The specific issue I am having is that when I have no tranactions selected (deposit or payments) I should see at the top of the page, next to the word “reconcile” and the name of my accoiunt: zero payments and zero deposits and the monetary difference. However, I only see zero payements and 16 deposits that are present. 

I suspect these deposits are ones I have already confirmed but for some reason they are showing up when I have nothing selected. 

When I select everything I am now over. 

How do I find out what these 16 preselected items are? Once I can find that out I just wont select them on as I proceed and avoid a repeat deposit and that should, hopefully, resolve my situation. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for the response.

I thought that would solve it; however, it did not. I also went into the Bank register to make sure I removed the clear status or “R” status and made sure all 46 deposit transactions were not selected.

I also made sure that I have the correct date corresponding to the statement.

I also made sure the presvious month was correct and it was.

When I return to the Reconcile page, I have zero payments selected and 16 deposits remain selected even though no transaction is visibly selected on the page. 

If I could just click the part that stats 16 deposits and it shows me which ones they are that would be great, but unfortnately it doesn’t allow that.

So, any further ideas? 

Thank you.


I appreciate your prompt reply and for ensuring your transactions are well accounted for, @pman311.

 

I'm here to chime in and provide extra information on how to isolate and get around this matter.

 

If you have an unfinished reconciliation, transactions remain selected on the reconciliation page. To fix this, you can follow the details shared by my colleague JessT above.

 

If this is not the case, I recommend accessing your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account in a private or incognito window. This way, we can check if this issue is caused by the stored cache from the browser.

 

The browser uses cache and cookies to help load web pages faster. By the time it gets full of it, it causes issues that affect the performance of your QBO. Using a private window helps us verify the issue as this doesn't save any cache files. 

 

To open an incognito window, press keys: 

 

  • Ctrl + Shift + N for Google Chrome browser 
  • Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge browsers
  • Command + Shift + N for Safari browser

 

If you're able to seamlessly reconcile your account, I recommend clearing your regular browser cache. This is to prevent unusual behavior to occur. If the issue remains, I propose using other supported browsers. This way, we can see if this is a browser-integrated issue.

 

In regards to show which ones are the deposits, you'll want to click the deposits on your reconciliation page and click Edit It'll open the transaction page and view the details about it. Additionally, you might also want to check your Audit log. There, you can see who logged in to your account and made some changes.

 

Once you're all set, please feel free to check out this link for guidance in reconciling your account. This can guide you through the process of effectively matching your accounts and how to handle it in case you run into some issues: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.

 

I'm always here to help if you have other questions about reconciling your account. Just leave the details in your reply and I'll take care of it for you. Stay safe and keep well.
