Join nowHi, everyone!
I hope you could help me. I made a mistake making a bank reconciliation. I did it FIRST before checking and reviewing the transactions. :( It is all messed up now. :( What should I do? How will I reconcile undeposited funds? Can I undo my bank recon? I've manually added transactions in Uncategorized Income. Can I undo it? Please help me. :( Thank you so much!
PS. Can I undo bank recon when I'm not using QBO accountant? THANKS
You have me, @blueberry123.
I have two ways to handle this and I'm more than happy to share the steps with you.
First, the undo option for a reconciled transaction that is only available in QuickBooks Online Accountant. You can invite your accountant and let them undo the reconciliation period at once.
To invite:

Once done, reconcile your account again. Check out this guide for details: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.

Hi, @ShiellaGraceA ! Thank you for your response. I did what you stated in your reply below. How can I edit my bank reconciliation? Can I edit my opening balance? Thanks!
Thanks for the prompt reply, @blueberry123.

Additionally, yes, you can edit your opening balance in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Before you do so, I suggest working with your accountant to ensure your books are properly recorded after making these changes. If you’re not affiliated with one, you can visit our ProAdvisor page and we’ll help you find one from there.

Hi! I've been searching the Opening Balance Entry but I can't seen to find it. Is is usually on the beginning of the page? Please help!
I'm here to explain to you what opening balance is, blueberry123.
The opening balance is the amount of capital or fund in a company account at the start of a new financial period. You'll usually find this depending on the transactions that you've entered in QuickBooks Online (QBO). But usually this is the very first entry in the account. You'll want to make sure that an opening balance was entered for an account when when you've connected the Online Banking so you'll be able to locate the transaction.
Also, QuickBooks automatically downloads your historical transactions up to a certain date. It totals them up and enter the opening balance and date for you and you don't need to do anything else in your end.
However, if the opening balance for one account is incorrect, you can edit it through the View register.
For your reference, you can run and print reports for specific account to focus on the total amount on a certain period.

Thank you for your reply. The beginning balance I'm going to fix is on July 2019. I'm going to undo my bank recon from that month. However, the beginning balance that shows is the ending balance of December 2019. :( It should be the ending balance of June 2019 so I can undo it starting from July 2019. :'( It's all messed up now. Huhuhu. I need to correct my mistakes. Please help me.
I appreciate your prompt reply, @blueberry123.
