See you can click the "Edit info" button on the Reconcile page and change the ending date.

If you've reconciled with the wrong ending date (1/31/2020) try to reconcile with 2/28/2019 next, see what happens.

Good Evening, @Burn1. 

 

Welcome back to the Community. Yes, @vpcontroller is correct. You can edit the information by clicking Edit info on the reconciling page if you haven't finished it yet. If you've finished the reconcile already, then you'll need to undo the reconciliation through the QuickBooks Online Accountant version.  Once your accountant is invited by you to see your company data, then you can follow the steps below. 

 

Undo a Reconcile

  1. Click the Gear icon and then Reconcile under "Tools." 
  2. Select the Reconcile tab and then History by account. 
  3. Press History by account. 
  4. Choose Account and Report Period. 
  5. From the drop-down arrow beside View report, pick Undo. 
  6. Click Yes to confirm and then Undo.

It's that simple! Here are a few extra articles that can help you along the way: 

 

Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact me. Have a splendid day!

This is share software and my accountant has access to my files so what you are saying I cannot do this myself, but he has to do it? Is that correct .

Also, now that I am looking deeper, I am founding some more mistakes in the previous reconciling’s,
The mistakes happen buy using the pup up calendar change the month but did not pay attention to the year.
I do this once a year so the month that supposed to be is not the month that I am doing the reconciliation
The best solution to my problem right now is if I could change the date instead deleting the reconciliation and doing it over.
Let me know if anything like that evaluable.

Let me share some information to ease your confusion, @Kosta.

 

Changing the Ending date of your reconciled transactions depend on its status. You can still edit it if you haven't completed the process. You can follow the steps provided by @vpcontroller.

 

However, if it is already completed and you still choose to change the ending date, you can do either of the following:

  • You can just leave the ending date as it is. Just make sure to select the correct Starting and Ending date in your next reconciliation. You can do this in your existing QuickBooks Online account.
  • The other way is to undo the previous reconciliation that you've made. You can undo it automatically if you're using the QuickBooks Online for Accountant version. You can follow the steps provided by my colleague, @Candice C.
  • But if you're using the regular version of QuickBooks Online, you'll have to edit the reconciliation status of each transaction one at a time.

Just a heads-up, having an incorrect ending date does not affect any of your balances. Also, this does not prevent you from doing your future reconciliation.  Since your accountant has access to your company, I'd suggest consulting with him or her so you'd be guided on the right steps to follow.

 

Fill me in if you have other questions. I'm always here to help.

Welcome to the thread, CLG03. 

 

I understand the importance of having the Undo option during the reconciliation process. Your efforts in resolving this issue are much appreciated.

 

Please note that the Undo option is only available on the History by account page if you're using the QuickBooks Online Accountant version. 

 

 

 

In case you have the QuickBooks Online Accountant version, you can log in to your account to undo your reconciliation. However, if you have the regular version, you can follow the steps in this article to undo your transactions manually: Undo or remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once you're done with the reconciliation, you can run a report to cross-check if everything is in order. For detailed instructions on how to run a reconciliation report, please refer to this article: How do I view, print, or export a reconciliation report?

 

If there's anything else I can help you in undoing your reconciliation, let me know in the comments section below. I'm here to lend a hand.
