I'm catching up on reconciling my checking account in QB desktop 2021, and immediately ran into an issue. The starting balance was $1000 too high. So I ran the discrepancy report and found that a check from 2022 was accidentally deleted. I recreated the entry exactly as it was originally. I then went into the account register, located the new entry, and marked it as cleared (there are only three options for the checkbox column: null, checked, and asterisk). It was null, so I changed it to checked. I received a message about manually clearing entries which was expected. The problem is the entry is still in the discrepancy report, and the beginning balance in reconciliation is still $1000 too high. I've tried verifying the data and rebuilding the data. Neither fixed the issue. Is there something else I have to do? I can't believe that I would need to undo all of the reconciliations back to 12/2022 and redo them to fix the issue.
I found a lot of articles aimed at Quickbooks Online which don't seem to match my situation exactly. There is no "R" option in the account register in my version of desktop.
