wrong deposit of a paper check into wrong bank account

I have a wrong deposit in quickbooks. A paper check was deposited (with a group of other checks) into the wrong bank account. Just one check is wrong. It hit the books and in the banking for review tab within the lump sum of all the check is the wrong check deposit. I need to make a pass through account in quickbooks online to NOT have this check of $185.00 show up on the p&l. 

The wrong check was withdrawn from the bank so quickbooks shows an expense.  

 

I already have a DUE TO ACCOUNT LIABILITIES other current liabilities (type) other current liabilities (detail type) account created in the Chart of Accounts & a DUE FROM ACCOUNT (ASSETS) other assets (type) other long term assets (detail type).   When I went back to the $185.00 wrong check deposit, within the lump sum deposit, the DUE TO ACCOUNT was not populating because the $185.00 wrong check transaction is a sales receipt in qbs. Instead of anaccount category (chart of accounts) drop down tab, it isproduct and services (account) drop down tab. 

 

I created a product and services account called DUE TO ACCOUNT LIABILITIES (services), however this just moved the $185.00 out of the misc income on the income statement report to SERVICES $185.00 on the income statement. This total deposit of the lump sum checks including the $185.00 has been reconciled. I am reconciled all the way through February 2023. If I remove the sales receipt this would mess up my bank reconciliations? Unless there is a work around. Basically, this $185.00 coming in and going out is still on the books. 

 

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for sharing enough details of your concern.

 

Removing the sales receipt from one of the reconciled transactions might throw reconciliation off. Still, we can manually undo the reconciliation and the categorized transactions from the bank feed. Let's just make sure to properly re-reconcile them again.

 

Undo reconciliation:

 

  1. Open the account in the Chart of Accounts.
  2. Identify the transaction to edit.
  3. In the reconcile status column (indicated by a checkmark), repeatedly click the top line of the transaction to change the status blank (Not cleared or reconciled).
  4. Hit Save.

 

To undo it from the bank feed, here's an article we can check: Unmatch downloaded bank transactions.

 

Once done, we can reconcile and categorize it again. For further guidance, we can use this article.

 

However, we still need to consult your accountant for further guidance. This way, we can ensure your book will remain accurate when recategorizing them. They can also help you undo several reconciled transactions one at a time, if necessary.

 

We can visit and use the articles below anytime to learn about automatically categorizing your transactions correctly. Also, review discrepancies and make sure your books are accurate.

 

 

Let me know if you have more concerns about categories and managing your reconciled accounts. I'm here to offer further help. Take care and have a good one.
