Changing a Reconciled Transaction

Watch Video

Once an item has been reconciled, it cannot readily be changed because it would compromise the integrity of your data. But sometimes errors are made and they need to be corrected. Following are two different ways to do this.

---

Changing the Category, Memo, or Details Fields

To change the category, memo, or details of an already reconciled transaction:

Click on the Banking icon in the toolbar.

---

Next click Register under the bank account the transaction resides in.

---

Click the Edit button to the right of the transaction that needs to be edited.

---

Make your changes and click Save & Close.

---

Changing the Check/Reference, Date, Amount, or Paid To Fields:

To change the Check/Reference #, Date, Amount, or Paid To fields, you’ll need to first un-reconcile the account, going back to the month the transaction falls in. You’ll make the change, then re-reconcile.

Note: It’s helpful if you print your Reconciliation Reports prior to clearing your reconciliations. Having these handy makes it super fast to re-reconcile.

---

To un-reconcile:

Click the Banking icon from the toolbar.

---

Click Reconcile under the bank account you’d like to clear the reconciliation for.

---

You’ll see your Reconciliation History. Click View on the most recent reconciliation.

If you have a reconciliation already in progress you will need to clear that first by clicking Continue, then Discard the Reconciliation.

---

Then click Undo Reconciliation.

---

Click Undo Reconciliation again to confirm that this is what you want to do.

---

Clear the reconciliations back to the point where the entry that needs to be changed is located.

---

Now you’re ready to change the transaction:

Click on the Banking icon in the toolbar.

---

Next click Register under the bank account the transaction resides in.

---

Click the Edit button to the right of the transaction that needs to be edited.

---

Make your changes and click Save & Close.

---

Finally, re-reconcile your account:

Click the Banking icon from the toolbar.

---

Click Reconcile underneath the account you would like to reconcile.

---

Click Begin Reconciliation.

---

Step thru the reconciliation process for each month, using your printed Reconciliation Reports to guide you.
